I don’t love
In order to
Be loved I
Love to love
And once even
If we stop
Loving I will
Always love simply
Because you are
Now in my
Heart and it’s
There that you
Shall forever stay
I don’t love
In order to
Be loved I
Love to love
And once even
If we stop
Loving I will
Always love simply
Because you are
Now in my
Heart and it’s
There that you
Shall forever stay
When I look
Into your dark
Deeply dark brown
Eyes I see
Calm pools on
Moonless nights and
Hear the chirping
Of marsh toads
And feel the
Steam rising like
A million separate
Sighs your eyes
Beckon me to
Slip in slowly
To your dreams
Dipping toes timidly
Then diving beneath
And swallowed completely
Whenever you do
Anything that you
Love to do
You always do
It well because
Doing that which
You love allows
The heart to
Sing the miraculous
Song of heaven
Simply life’s lullaby
Even inside I
Can tell fall
Is coming not
By color but
By wind licking
Trees and grass
Soon leaves will
Leap like tiny
Spinning parachutes landing
And carpeting everything
Under foot calico
Fleeing from chills
To warming fires
We will huddle
And remember summer
Life is absolutely
Too short and
Too precious than
To be anything
Less than that
With it honestly
What in the
World are we
Waiting for for
Someone anyone to
Tell us that
It’s okay really
What about us
Looking at each
Other and deciding
Now is Now
