poem-reborn

Some say love..
it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love...
it is razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love...
It is hunger , an endless aching need
I say love..
it is a flower and you its only seed
It is a heart afraid of breaking
It is a dream afraid of waking
And the soul afraid of dying .
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember
In the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the Rose..
