After all this time
It lies there
Hidden still
But awake
And alive
I cannot beat it
Cannot cut it off
Or starve it out
Given only a little hope
It springs to life
And takes control
Like a child
It must be guided
Taught to nourish
Encourged to expand
And in all things
Do no harm
Do no harm

Fantastic poem! I love the rhythm in the lines (and, of course, I love what it says). The flow is wonderful. I love these lines:
“I cannot beat it
Cannot cut it off
Or starve it out”.
Yes. Do no harm. That is awesome.
Thank you Julie! Love is such a wonderful thing, It’s hard to think it can hurt anyone, but if not expressed appropriately, then wow, what a mess.
