Love does, doesn’t it?
Writes the song and plays it 
Sows the field and reaps it
Builds the nest and empties it
Raises the gun as well as the white flag
Takes as well as it gives
Hides as well as it shines
— better, in fact —
Nuzzles deep into the marrow
To be copied and indelible
Ever asking the question
And waiting
As long as it must
For an answer
