Mis-Understand
I don’t try to understand your pain
nor empathize with what you gain
by making choices of denial
waiting for time to pass
all the while forgetting
how
to
live
I don’t try to understand
a choice to abstain
from love and passion
intimacy that is a God-given-gift
the closest we can ever come to
Heaven
on
Earth
I do understand
death and war
for death is a beginning
and wars are never ending
but Love is eternal
and more than that
I must agree
with the Rabbi’s message
sent to me
“the greatest of these is Love”
