What would love do now?
would love lift up? renew? awaken?
would love leave alone? let rest? walk away?

would love shake things up?
or would love meditate silently, search for inner peace?

would love feel all concerned about his family? his life? his worries hopes and dreams?
or would love turn inward and take care of the little girl inside who's hurting?

would love hunker down, burrow under, and growl at anyone passing by?
would love bare her teeth and snap at the hands inching to pet her?

would love nuzzle his face into the comforting hand?
or would love furrow his brow and nod and slide away?

What would love do now?

would love sigh, rub her nose, shrug her shoulders...
would love get up softly and walk away...
would love leave to find another dance
and another dancer
and another mystery
of a new romance
