the buried seed of love

to stay true to myself and to you

means i believe in love

and know I was created in love

and if my soul feels a part from love

there was a time love was not shown to me

and so I had to dig down

even amidst all of the stones

to find the love seed buried there

and nourish it

for years too

it seems

I may have lost the way to love

each time I misunderstood

how it really was for you

and thought that I could judge

i turned my back on love

and it hurt

still hurts to think

i was just mistaken too

but why

for am I not only human

imperfectly perfect

sometimes fragile

sometimes golden

even when my mind becomes

covered over with

lack of love’s tarnish

still I will keep

digging as deep as I can

within my own pain

to unearth my faith

and to find

the buried seed

of love
