The Hard Thing
I once asked a maid who worked in stable
What was her own stay or if Love was a fable
She knew what to say but was unable
But after a long wait , she said love’s more than a fable
I then asked a prince who lived in a palace
If Love is all there is or a fallacy
He smiled with great passion and said
Love is all there is to want.
Great men have written, Kings have reasoned
Of all the wonders of the world all that keeps us in awe
Of all our many essentials and lovely credentials
There’s something that beats all demand
That great men cannot understand
That spark that can burn down a house
That flicker that can warm up your heart
That energy that makes up all life
That labyrinth one can never solve
That… Love
