Hollow Dish

If there is anything

My love can give

In its infinite versatility

That is such

By virtue of its being so empty

Such a hollow dish

Anything at all

That you need or wish

(And they say love is good for all things)

Then just reach out and take it

I shall not ask for it back

Love shall pay me well in return

I shall not lack

For love is a versatile

And abundant currency

It pays for itself with itself

And in it there is eternal wealth
