ALWAYS LOVE

Love doesn't end
with the saying of it
how does
anyone ever say
I don't love you anymore
since love is indestructible
like nuclear energy
stronger than death
full of the story
of how one grew
into the world, large
sometimes afraid
but love carries us
through, is the train
that motors over
rough land and tunneled
out rock on tracks laid
down with care

sometimes the tracks
need prepare, derail trains
with precious cargo
and still, even spilt
it is still love
splintered, torn
maybe
but always
love
