Alignment



Does love
     obey?
          And – if it does –
          is it love that obeys
               or proof of love
               or wish for love
         
It sounds so
     hard
     so
          un-love ly

Perhaps the problem
     is not with love

Obey is
     for us
          a four letter word
     implying things
     by our resistance
     to it
          orders
          commands

But what if
     love is about
     alignment
          obedience by
          another name

What if
     hearing the
     heart of the lover
     the loved seeks
          nothing more
          nothing less
          nothing else
         
     wanting only
     what love wants

Love doesn’t
     coerce
     manipulate
     control
     order

its power is greater than that
