- Love is no eagle
Love is no eagle
Love is no eagle,
Strong
Amid the heights.
It is an egg.
A fertile, fragile
Possibility.
Hold it close
Within your wing,
Beneath your breast.
Perhaps in heaven
Love can live
Self-nourished,
Free.
But in this world
Where mountains fall
And west winds blow,
Be careful,
Love is embryo.
