love teaches

love teaches us
to see

love teaches us
to touch
& be touched

love teaches us
to care

for life
for liberty
for each other

love is how
& why
we are alive

when we abandon love
our hearts
stop

let’s save
the world
because
we love it

let’s embrace
all our brothers
& sisters
because we are all
made of love

let us love
all living things
who gave us
birth

& the stars
who are
the parents
of life

& the wise fire
by which
we are energized
forever
