The question.

What does it mean to love?

Can love end abruptly? 
Is it unforgiving?
Does it falter?
Does it give pause?
Does it have rhyme or reason?

Does the light of a dead star 
cease to lend it's shine to the universe
for decades after its death?

Does proximity play a factor?
Does love die?
Does it weaken?
Does it slowly disappear
when the players are planets away?

Does the moon and the earth
though miles apart
cease to spin and move and twirl
in an infinite and effortless universe?

Is our love not meant to be shared?
With not only few but with many?
Is it singular?
Is it finite?
Is it conditional?

If the warmth of the sun
is shared with all beings on earth
is it's heat diminished with each additional soul?

Does love often sail alongside
hate
spite
fear
anger.

Or are these the faults of men, 
disrupting the current 
the universe's greatest gift?

Are you meant to love one?
Or can you love many?
Are there different types of love?
Are we only meant for loving singularly?
Are our earthly hearts only capable of that?

The search for an answer only breeds a million more questions.
