a living thing



"a living thing"

.



my love is a living thing



not an object



to be gained



then put on a shelf, admired, and fondled once in a great while.



my spirit transcendant.



my body, eventual dust.



.



my love is a living thing



and it needs sunshine



and water



and attention



it needs air...it breathes...it moves,,,it grows and



will wilt when put to the side on a shelf



like an object.



.



my love is a living thing...



measurable in it's lifespan



with a birth and and inevitable death



there is no container to



hold it



capture it



keep it



preserve it.



.
no.



my love is a living thing.
