Love Can’t Help

Melody SJAL on Feb 11, 2009

Love can’t help itself but to assert its nature.

Love can’t help
But to subdue
The threatening shadows of despair;
And to rekindle
The dying embers of hope.

Love can’t help
But to overrule
The paralyzing seeds of doubt;
And to sustain
The nurturing grains of faith.

Love can’t help
But to quench
The scorching flames of wrath;
And to free
The cooling cascades of peace.

Love can’t help
But to disable
The cutting blows of grief;
And to empower
The enlivening sparks of joy.

A great piece, made even greater by uncanny use of adjectives.
