Overly Philosophical? Perhaps...

A Poem by LARRIH

To love is learn. 
To learn is to grow. 
To grow is to change. 

What if that lesson of love is painful,
Unrequited, challenging, and wrought with doubt?
Does it invalidate your growth, 
Or your impetus to change?

Love is beauty. 
Beauty is admiration of the imperfect. 
Imperfection is the quintessence of our humanity. 

What if that love is tainted?
Tainted with bad judgement, 
Unkind words, or the malice
Contained in every one of us?
Does is make it any less beautiful 
Or any less a part of our humanity?

Akin to the complexity of our brains,
Love is an intangible network, '
Connecting all that is beautiful, 
All that is growing, 
All that is feeling. 
To deny love is to deny humanity,
To deny emotion, 
To deny mind, soul, and spirit. 
Love with abandon. Love effervescently. 
Love to save our fickle world.
