Love demands Truth. Love that bends and lies to pacify feelings When Truth stands, resolute, cannot be True Love. It may be frightened, maudlin, corrupted, Or many other things, but it cannot be True Love. Some, hoping to change the shape of Love, Would pummel the footings of Truth, But they haven't shovels enough, Nor dynamite powerful enough, Nor lies lasting long enough to dislodge True Love. True Love stands resolutely with Truth. This relationship has always existed, always will, While the Resistance has a beginning, It must eventually meet its end. (DB, meanderings, July 10, 2023)

Love and Truth
Love demands Truth. Love that bends and lies to pacify feelings When Truth stands, resolute, cannot be True Love. It may be frightened, maudlin, corrupted, Or many other things, but it cannot be True Love. Some, hoping to change the shape of Love, Would pummel the footings of Truth, But they haven't shovels enough, Nor dynamite powerful enough, Nor lies lasting long enough to dislodge True Love. True Love stands resolutely with Truth. This relationship has always existed, always will, While the Resistance has a beginning, It must eventually meet its end. (DB, meanderings, July 10, 2023)
Thinking about vicissitudes of existence. What Solid Rock can I set my anchor to in the Sturm und Drang?
