Held on like a thread of hope
Love like a teardrop that barely
Reaches the separation point

It, as it separates, does not and
Comes back like an elastic
Stretching its might

Love rebounds a separation
In order to stay strong
Love comes to show me

Its face and brilliant luminosity
Is the face of a water droplet
Never separating from the source.

04/25/1998

Author's Note: I had a vision of the imagery so I attempted to describe it here in this poem.
