A love grown by design

It was where the several stayed
the few – they strived to be
like those stuck to the peaceful shore
who much preferred the sea

What part do we mere mortals play
in where the others are –
the choice is theirs – and theirs alone
we see a different star

Contradiction lives its life
in uncertain times –
to doubt is only to be wise
like water turned to wine

Yet does one’s wish to tear down the wall
lay their feelings bare –
a darling bud springs to bloom –
from no-man’s-land to there

And as the night that fell shines once again
and meets the brightest sky
belief meets trust and honesty –
a love grown by design.
