The Love That Burns
By Theodore Richards
“The Love that Burns”
To know
What it means to be human;
To find the wisdom to become
Homo sapiens:
To live the love
That burns;
To remember,
And to dream a world
To life;
To sing songs, to write poems, to tell stories;
To taste the wind with our tongues
And to listen to the leaves;
To press our tiny hands
To the edge of our womb world;
To be amazed and terrified,
At this awesome, awful world;
To be born,
Bloody, swollen, and full of possibility.
