Love Again

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Love again like the first time
Abandon self-defense
Love again like the sublime
Renew the innocence

Love again like the fervor
Abandon the lukewarm
Love again like the ardor
Renew the sultry storm

Love again like the surreal
Abandon crassitude
Love again like the ideal
Renew the attitude

Love again like the rigor
Abandon lethargy
Love again like the vigor
Renew the energy

Love again like the serene
Abandon the heartache
Love again like the pristine
Renew the give-and-take
