Bunny Love

Love is 

small and 

gray and 

soft. 

It has 

large ears and 

a minuscule mouth- 

Love knows listening 

is so much more important 

than any words we utter. 

And anything important 

must be said without 

making a sound. 

Love comes quickly, 

or springtime slow, 

and it hides from us 

far more often 

than we wish. 

Love multiples, 

it never divides, 

and it will not stop 

until it overruns the earth. 

Love is messy, 

and destructive, 

and leaves everything 

irreversibly changed. 

Love is hunted and 

forged and 

used as a talisman 

against evil, 

but Love cannot always win. 

And when it cannot, 

Love is the willing sacrifice- 

a pawn 

in the shadow 

of a greater king.
