The very moment I say the words I love you
how many faces catch the fire of aliveness ?
How many trees flower
How many miles of earth’s wounded contours begin to heal?
I cannot count.
The very moment I say the words I love you
How many birds compose new songs?
How many homeless children feel safe and loved?
How many walls of ignorance tear down
So that we can see each other in the eyes?
How many warring brothers and sisters sit down
To eat and laugh together?
I cannot count.
