the last arena gladiators…

battles have ended
the cheers from crowds have faded
needed no longer
to rein in social violence
since violence is everywhere

force…

it is love
that aligns
the planets
whether they be
old or young
this is the only force
strong enough to last
and endure
the violent upheavals
of the universe
you cannot see it
or taste it
nor feel its presence
as you move
through time
but know this
it is there
and binds you
to all
that has been
and will be
forevermore
