OctPoWriMo 12 - Love is a Warrior



Love is a Warrior

Love is not a summer cloud, wispy and frail
Love is a storm rolling in, thunder and rain
Love is a warrior; love will never fail

Love is not the bubbles floating in champagne
Love is a guardian, breaking evil’s bones
Love is a warrior, a wild hurricane

Love is not lust, desire, or mere hormones
Love is a choice you make again and again
Love is a warrior; love may stand alone

Love is not thoughts and prayers without action
Love is kneeling in the dirt to be a shield
Love is a warrior; love’s shouting, “Amen!”

Love is justice and mercy and truth revealed
Love is every hurt and injury healed
