love's life’s work

do not worry that
   it hasn’t been
   done before.

& who cares about
   the money
   one way or
another?

ignore fear––
   it can never
   kill you.

what matters is
   the vision of
   your highest
self.

a view so far &
   wide that no
   one else can
see it without you.

take the future
   into your own hands
   & shape it as it
   ought
to be.

forge the desires
   of your hands into lovers
   & dance the dreams inside
your eyes.

what else, if anything,
   can love’s life
be?
