The power of love is truly wondrous. However, I couldn't help feeling that he was right in many respects. No matter the awful things that keep happening and the terrible things we do to each other, the fact that we still cling so hard to the idea of love is confusing, but if we didn't and love wasn't able to "find a way like a weed through a crack in concrete" we would all be very lost.

I love the last few lines of this piece - after the poem is spent explaining his hate for love, an acknowledgement that it is the "only thing in the world since he fell from the other that (makes) him weak".

Excellent, Darren,
