Love without ownership

It's a beautiful thing
To love
And not seek to own
It is so human
To want to own
So trivial
Almost naive
To seek permanence
Life is impermanence 
It is so human to forget
This impermanence 
To seek to sooth 
The void 
The end
With the illusion
Of solid permanence
It is so strong
This thing called love
It can break down 
All walls
Love
---
And permanence seeks
To build 
And contain
What has been found
---
Love
It is boundless
This thing called love
It cannot be contained
In a vessel
Within a wall
---
It's love
It is a force 
That fights 
To be free
---
You cannot win 
You must surrender 
To love
---
It is a beautiful thing 
To surrender 
To love
To embrace 
The helplessness
Of love
---
To let go
The ego
And ownership 
And walls
---
Simply let love
Enter 
---
And love
And not seek 
To own
Or save 
A little for later
---
Like manna 
From heaven
Simply know 
It's love
And it will come 
Again 
Tomorrow
And again 
Tomorrow 
One must simply 
Surrender
