Beauty Can’t Be Forced

Force can make even good things ugly
pushing love on someone who has no desire to be loved
is far from the Holy
throwing yourself at someone
uncaring
is like throwing a pearl into a pig pen
to be trampled by lust
but love blossoming naturally
under the playful action of the sun
encouraged by healing words like rain
is a thing of beauty
a flower without shame
