Not To Make Loss Beautiful - Gregory Orr

[Lawrence Robinson]

Not To Make Loss Beautiful

Not to make loss beautiful,
But to make loss the place
Where beauty starts.  Where
the heart understands
For the first time
The nature of its journey.
 
Love, yes.  The body
of the beloved as the gift
Bestowed.  But only
Temporarily.  Given freely,
But now to be earned.
 
Given without thought,
And now loss
Has made us thoughtful.
