She Collected Love

She collected love...

It's twisting shapes...

The winds of the universe bringing it to her and whisking it away...

Never the same but always familiar to her soul...

On fire and extinguished in one breath...

She collected love...

No matter the pieces it took from her...

No matter the depths of wisdom of wisdom if left behind...

No matter how it consumed her soul...

No matter the extravagance...

No matter the modesty...

No matter the excruciating pain...

No matter the ravishing joy...

She collected love...

With an abandon even she didn't understand...

With the purity of an unwounded spirit...

With an unquenchable thirst of hope...

With soft hands holding delicately...

She collected love...
