Find one thing to fall in love with today
as if it was that simple, that sweet
hold it in words
and in the striving it will be enough
in striving to do justice to the light on the mountains
the cold smell and shiver of wind
the gentle upturn of a stranger’s smile
it will be enough
fall in love with somebody or something today
and hold it with words
with your words and your words alone
hold it gently with adjectives and ink
hold it with your words and your words alone
As if it were that simple, that sweet.
