The Audacity of Love
lt can greet you as an equal
compliment you like a friend,
can produce a new beginning
or, assault you with an end.
lt can trick you into thinking
that what you believe in now, is true;
then, make you feel like an idiot
as lonliness swallows you.
Life wouldn't be much without it
t'wouldn't even be grace from above;
we all experience it in many forms
that's the audacity of love.
It can also bring you comfort
and can ease your worried mind,
soothe you when you're hurting
and teach you to be color blind;
soften even the hardest of hearts
and give the spirit of a dove,
kill hatred with a knowing glance
that's the audacity of love.
