love

 

I placed my ear

at the heart of the earth.

It told me of the love between itself

and the rain.

I placed my ear

at the heart of the water.

It told me of the love between itself

and its springs.

I placed my ear

at the heart of a tree.

It told me of the love between itself

and its leaves.

As I placed my ear

at the heart of love itself

it told me of freedom.
