Strength of love

why this kindness
this largesse
when passion denied
shreds your soul?
why not the lion's roar and rage
the taking of desires aim?

'Twould be like taking sculptured smoke
or grasping roughly crystal straws
drawn long and thin and tenuous
glassblower fashioned at his bench
born of fire and of heat and yet ethereal.

Love, true love, is stronger
than the impulse to possess
and it comes from letting go.

Inspired by an Eric Albin g+ post
