we imagine love
is a simple
thing
but it is
not--
it is a
continent that
dreams--
an ocean that’s
very attracted
to the moon--
one universe
colliding with
another
it is the endlessness
that is the
only certainty we truly
know
you came
together––
elegant leading
man—
extravagant beauty
of a
woman––
in a fantasy love
story that we all
can believe
in
feel free to make
your home
right here & now
wherever you
are—as unanchored
& curious as
the wind
leave nothing out
of your loving—
keep the buddha
heart & the caring
hands—
keep
the truckstops & the
rodeo
wander barefoot
along the eternal
beaches where the
mysteries
are—
& breathe deep
the forever that embraces
the stars
above all
be sure to
share your life like a
lovepoem—
more blessed than
any lovepoem
ever was
before
