In Another Life
By Murray Dunlap
I might understand
In another life
Why the pain was allowed
Needed
Deserved
So very intense
And why I pushed through
Despite it
Angry with it
Tested by it
Quivering from it
Succumbing to it
But it ended with love
That may be
All the answer I need
Wow, Murray, this is very powerful, as is love.
It ended with love. That’s all we need,
