I appreciate this honesty. It humbles love, like so many are reluctant to do. At the end of the day, love is not a magical immortal self-sustaining entity. By extension, it validates love that doesn't last when so many try to take that label of love away. A lot to take in here. Love is wind, love is dust, love dies. So well phrased.
Yes my friend. You are right.
"Love is wind
Love is dust
Love dies"
The above lines. Can stand alone. Thank you Sapphus for sharing the powerful and worthwhile poetry.

this short work cuts like a knife. it is truth told, and a bitter pill to swallow. all joy in this world is temporary, except one: wisdom. and this poem offers that too. by knowing our time with a loved one is short, we can bring ourselves to a higher plane of existence. and that ascendance might have a ripple effect...
I'd say I believe love changes it's colours as we experience, it's never a finite form, and I must say love is an energy and it's just like physics says, energy is never destroyed, only it changes its form. Love the idea this poem invokes, it's melancholic but it sure has more than we can read here.
