Contrasting Love Songs Poem by Peter S. Quinn

The earth is made of contrasting love songs
Defusing the centuries with it through
Sometimes detached to stern's renew
Or created in half-opened shadows belongs
Happenings of the great silences past
Solitudes tumbling in their resound
The sword of its howl - the fields of its dust
Rising alone and in new creations found

Nothing’s old and nothing's new in earth's dirt
Many the voices toward emptiness
Therein like a lose stone without a name
Thousands of springs have swum in with their flirt
Each shielded against the other for a less
The cold against the heart in burning flame
