Love after hate

Call

How do I find love after hate?
In thoughts that I think? I can't keep em' straight
They push and they shove Then howl at the gate
I wish they would shine, and go stand in line
To ease the repast, heaped onto my plate
Shocked to fulfill, the lust that I sate

Will they ever feel, the power of my will?
Is that how I'll find, love after hate?
--------
How do I find love after hurt?
Can sunlight rebound on graves in dirt?
No, golden and fragile, they soak in the turf
I can't help but think, as deep as I sink
The eyes of the dead see stains on my shirt
And laugh as I writhe, at the edge of the dirt
If the oceans they rise, to swallow the earth
I will stand right hear with the wind in my ears

I'll wait for a time, I can call just mine
If a rich man's win, begets poor man's curse
If my ship comes in, do my legs have worth?
Does that Bible belt, clash with my shirt?
Is that how I find love after hurt?
----------
How do I find love after pain?
Can you open flowers, in the pouring rain?
What if the heavens, don't give a damn?
And they all forget you, the root and stem?
If it all grew fine, I'd take it as a sign
Is that how I find love after pain?

Response

Love does not find
To find is to search
To search is to ask
To ask is to live
To love is to give

Love does not find
To find turns to lose
To lose turns to blind
To blind is to reach
To love is to leap

You cannot find love
It doesn't exist
Like a fairy tale ride
Through legends and mist

Love is a word
Not a whole truth
A feather light touch
Its the ocean of you
The ocean of you
