Dartwill on Love and Life

It has taken one million years
one thousand times
to design your part in the drama of life.
Start your daily struggle to play it right
with a one-word prayer,
“Thanks.”

*

Two ways to live
Your way
Their way
Only one is our way.

*

God is a concentrate of good
Obviously.
Also spellt true, just, love, beauty
and mercy.
Don’t forget mercy.
Please!

*

I love. You love. We love.
My life. Your life. Our life.
We love our life.

*

Two ways to live
Hunter-gatherer or lover-doer
Hunt to have or love to do?
Do it to love or have it to hunt?
Only one is our way.

*

Love is not just a four-letter word
It is The four-letter word
a synonym for life
a direction for community
a defender of me
a champion of we
and let’s not forget
it’s not really a word
but a force of unity.

*

Two ways to live
In fear and obedience or truth and courage?
Listen to the roar of money or the song of community?
Do it for them or do it for us?
Enrich the few or prosperity for all?
Only one is life’s way,
love’s way,
our way.
