The Poetry of Joseph Zaccardi
THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE
A lion waits in his den for the heat of the day to dissipate. Then goes at dusk to where he has wanted to go all day: to the river to drink water from water, to look at the way the land and the sky divide and fit together perfectly. He decides to not bring down the lame wildebeest, not because he is not hungry, but because he feels generous and feels hopeful.
