Gather love from around you, like you would collect herbs in the forest.
Love is not given.
It is gathered.
The forest provides.
Leaf, flower, root, or bark.
A sacred bag will hold.
For potions and poultices.
Lovers touch each other.
Gentle soothing.
Heart healing.
Completion allows the body
To remember.
Love always remains.
This is my journey
