When Love was

By David L. Barber

21st Century


When love was distant,
I traveled long.
When love arrived,
I sang no song.
When love was gentle,
I sought no touch.
When love was simple,
I wanted much.
When love was peaceful,
I wanted wild.
When love was loud,
I wanted mild.
When love was open,
I closed the door.
When love was gone,
I wanted more.
