Could love be planted
where Earth isn't there;
shall it be wanted;
in absence of care
could it be wasted;
when no one has dared;
even lie granted;
a single quick stare,
for laws that mandate
how awful its bare;
its past been haunted;
its present unclear;
what lonely bandit,
how hopelessly mere;
what fool has dreamt it
how wistfully feared.
