Love in the Time of Paranoia

By John Blase | November 21, 2015 |

If love is for real

and not just a word

then show me.

I know you’re frightened.

I am too.

But that is the feeling

imperfect people

always have as they

row closer home.

All frightened. All imperfect. All rowing.
Sounds like community to me.

Ah, perfect, I think. Though you know I am not sure of much of anything. Except this one thing, poets should keep making lines. Grateful for yours.

Love and fear…now there’s a tension for sure. Rowing home…love the image.
