Love.

‘Tis truly amazing, to watch what havoc you cause

To seemingly innocent folks who’ve done you naught

To some a blessing, and to others a curse

And to all sane minds what great madness you wrought.

‘Tis truly amazing to watch grown folks take reason

And at your behest tear it all to shreds

None is exempt, season after season

All is entangled in your mesh of deceptive threads.

‘Tis truly amazing to watch all live at your mercy

Fathoming not when or how you’d strike

Like blind sailors tossed away at sea

To your pitiless waves blowing whither you like.

‘Tis truly amazing to hear what myths you inspire

Tales of your glory, saying you are blind

I think not, for to cowards you are merciless and unkind

And your mercy, only the brave will ever truly find.
