I watch intently <br />in my mind’s eye <br /> <br />an ancient Egyptian <br />scribe take his pen and write <br /> <br />“My heart is in balance with yours.” <br /> <br />And laugh. <br /> <br />At how not an iota <br />of love <br /> <br />has changed since that then <br />& this now. <br /> <br />Through seconds or centuries <br />Love flies <br /> <br />through hieroglyph <br />to cursive English script <br /> <br />Love <br />the most human thing <br />there is.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-most-human-thing-there-is/
