Love,
A word misused, misunderstood, ill-defined.
"Love does not run, always patient, always kind."
A fallacy of the mind,
Love is blind.
Love,
Sometimes pure, but often tainted
A cure, but it's often jaded
Love,
Encumbers the world,
Like the lion and the lamb,
Sacrificial
It gives and it takes.

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

This is so beautiful because it embodies the tug-of-war game of how we perceive love as unconditional but then it feels conditional often too. Very thoughtful.
I love how you intertwine your faith into your poetry! You are inspiring, and thid piece is beautiful indeed!
Wow a sad but one line is nice. Love does not run - always patient always kind. other than that is a bit sad. Good luck in the challenge.
Beautiful!
