*drip*

if water can bore through stone with enough time;
surely truth can erode fear within

If and that we grow apart
Earth's orbit shakes.
With the rending of one heart
All heaven breaks.

Steadfast love, like gravity,
keeps stars in place.
Enduring love's hilarity
burns bright with grace.

If and that our love is pain,
so does love grow,
that Love's bewildering reign
earth's hearts may know.

Madeleine L'Engle
