Search for meaning

By: J. L. Lewis

You cannot love in vain
for love itself is its own reward
and loses not its worth
at the moment of parting
or in the cold embrace of rejection.
Love marks not the passage of time
but awaits the final hour
and endures another moment still.
It is better to have your heart broken
again and again, then never offer
it once into another’s keeping.
For what greater tragedy at life’s end
than for love to say, I never knew you?
One may doubt the circumstances of angels
but you challenge love’s divinity
at your peril.
