Ode To Woman

ODE TO A WOMAN

YOUR HEART CONTAINS THE UNIVERSE
SO THE UNIVERSE IS TO SMALL FOR YOU.

YOUR LOVE ACCEPTS YOUR ENEMIES
SO YOU ARE EASY PREY TO THEM.

YOU SUFFER EVERY BEINGS PAIN
SO NO ONE SUFFERS YOURS.

YOU FALL OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP
SO THOSE YOU HELP; HELP PUSH YOU OVER.

YOU GIVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE,
SO PEOPLE WANT EVEN WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

YOU LIVE IN THE HAPPINESS OF OTHERS
SO YOU COURT ETERNAL SORROW.

BUT YOU KNOW THE BEAUTY OF LOVE,
WHILE MYRIAD'S DIE WITHOUT KNOWING.

~Lonely Being~
