Entropy

We live with a thought

That love will always be

But in this world we’ve found

That’s contradictory

For if a place of beauty

Is left to simply be

A principle of nature

Will steal its energy

We say we fall in love

That sounds like gravity

But love will fall away

Due to entropy

If love is what you vow

To the beauty of your eye

You need to do much more

Than simply give a try

Work your heart each day

Rid self centered clods and weeds

Then tender kindness seeds release

To sprout in all your deeds

And as you toil for love

Pray they will do the same

Then love will always bloom

Again and again
