Constant

Science claims 

There’s

A finish to

Every start.

Nothing runs

Forever.

One plus one

Always

Equals two?

But is that true?

Science can do

The math.

It can even chart

The laughs.

But what

Exactly does

Science know

About the heart?

Science can replace,

Mend, repair, and

get the blood flowing:

It will keep you breathing.

And when you’ve

Ventured too close

To the alternative,

You’re eager,

Keen,

Thrilled,

Grateful.

But that awareness

Doesn’t last
As long as you hoped it would.
You drift in a haze,

Part numb and part indifferent.
You shut down the care mode

And wait for the fog to lift.

Nothing runs forever.

Nothing but your need.

Moment to moment

Validates your space in the long term lot.
You want and need love

Hundreds of times a day.

It’s a river that

Refuses to run dry.
It never will.

It’s the source
That feeds the ocean

And puts gravity

In the potion.

Perpetual emotion.
