Love is a Deep and a Dark and a Lonely “love is a deep and a dark and a lonelyand you take it deep take it darkand take it with a lonely windingand when the winding gets too lonelythen may come the windflowersand the breath of wind over many flowerswinding its way out of many lonely flowerswaiting in rainleaf whisperswaiting in dry stalks of noonwanting in a music of windbreathsso you can take love as it comes keeningas it comes with a voice and a faceand you make a talk of ittalking to yourself a talk worth keepingand you put it away for a keen keepingand you find it to be a hoardingand you give it away and yet it stays hoardedlike a book read over and over againlike one book being a long row of bookslike leaves of windflowers bending lowand bending to be never broken ― Carl Sandburg, Honey and Salt
