 A Girl Named Love
 
A girl named love met a boy named peace. 

A girl named love met a boy named anguish. 

A girl named love met a mirror. 

That goes on and on.  

In that mirror, 
everything repeats itself. 

A grotesque parody 
of the circles we try to escape. 

Nothing changes, 
Droplets fall 
Ripples are born, and die
By the millions. 

A girl named love met a boy named rain. 

Circles
Ever expanding 
Taking in lives along
the grooves 
of neatly scored 
Lines.

A girl named love met a boy named chance. 

Two sides of a coin, 
Two faces of a die,
Ever rattling, ever rolling 
Roll, roll, roll, 
Till it stops. 

A girl named love met a boy named death.

The knell sounds 
The bell tolls 
The churches weep 
The sea sings 
The birds flit
The wind wanders 
The leaves fall 
The song crests 
The wheels wear down 
The clocks stop
Tick. Tock.

A girl named love met a boy named hope. 

And it quietens
The noise is lulled
to sleep 
on the back of a melody 
Roaring.

A girl named love met a boy named faith. 

Water rises 
To meet the wind.
The ground awaits 
The breaking of the 
Sky. 
Light awaits 
The clouding of darkness 
in corners 
that are endlessly lit. 

A girl named love meets herself. 
And ah, how they weep.
