When all your desires are distilled
You will cast just two votes
To love more,
And be happy.

what can we say
about life?
is it really as complicated as we
would make it?
we rush through our days
we work
and play
and seek the grail
which holds the water of life
but ultimately our titles
our houses
our cars
all our prestige
is mere foolishness
all we need (isn’t this a song?)
is love
not all we need
(food and clothing are nice
as is a place to live
and perhaps a little medical care)
but really
if we have someone who loves us
someone who makes our heart sing
or, perhaps
someone who simply allows us to be
who we really are
and if we commit ourselves to love
then
finally
we have a better than average chance
to be
happy
