"Love Is The Question?" by Joe DiMino

Love is the question?

As well as the answer:

One of necessity
When seeking refinement
Of the heart, satisfaction
For the soul;

The soul,—how it hungers!
Mouth of the spirit-infant
Suckling that it may grow
Into Mother Earth,
Transform to its loftiest image,
Extracting the rest
Beyond fertilizer—
Nothing is waste in the process…

The real fall
Not to have eaten
But never to have tasted

Bless and comfort those
Bearing our crosses
As well as their own—
