Love Poem: Love First

Love First

Sometimes Truth
is a bit too enlightening, 

eyes preferring haze
over prickly points
of stunning beams – 

when the
heart in shadow, a slow
peep can be preferred over a
sharp glare, 

though the caution of the
heart, can be detriment to clarity,
also a survival skill taught
by wilderness wandering -- 

Compassion is not always
truthful…

sometimes best a lie -- 

like seasons and night and
day – the ice, a slower thaw -- 

Love first

and never be wrong….
