Four Letter Moon

 

Nothing can be changed until it is faced.

                  -James Baldwin

 

Imagine love wants to see

your true face

 

Imagine that nothing matters

except love

 

Imagine love as you

 

Imagine love as everything

you’ve ever given attention to

 

Imagine love abides in difference

 

Imagine love as a force

that gives us meaning

 

Imagine love abhors a vacuum

 

Imagine love wants to know love

 

Imagine everything matters

because love is real

 

Imagine love is a power

uncontainable & inconceivable

 

Imagine love as language, as selfless action,

as water, as purslane, as voles, as dragonflies, wind

 

Try to imagine a love

able to rise whole into thin air,

invisible to our eyes

& hold our entire awareness

on the thin new blade

of a brightness soon to come

 

Imagine the imperfections of love

that love adores

 

Imagine love imagining

your radical truth &

trusting your courage

your vision

your journey

to recognize

your self

in vastness
