Love Song - Bruce Moody

[Larry Robinson]

Love Song

 

I hear other names for You – The Inviolable One,

God, Allah, Wakantanka, Higher Power,

The Ineffable. But why bother,

when You call to me by no name at all and I come.

 

Neither of us have a word for each other

save Us.

And even that is nobody’s business but Ours.

 

So let’s forget such partitions as names

and discuss this April day within,

which captures birds in flight

and all their eggs and songs

in one straight deed of liberation.

 

The mighty have fallen around this peace.

But let’s not get into that, when every moment

is roses, and the scent You gives off tastes

in my nose like Now.

Like Forever. Like Now.

 

All I want from You is nothing.

Peace is a dance, after all.

Peace moves. Peace laughs.

And Peace’s discussion is boughs of trees,

light, carriages, actors at their bent,

bravery in and out of action,

for after all, what, what, what

in this world is possibly not roses?
