I know, my darling, that you believe in Joy-

Throwing your trembling kites to universal space-

I know that you believe-

In laughing in the moment-

And nowhere else.

 

I know, my darling, that you believe in Love-

The one that never grows at your expense-

I know that you believe-

In crying in the moment-

And nowhere else.

 

I know, my darling, that you believe in God-

Playing with strings of nature in their sacred dance-

I know that you believe-

In loving in the moment-

And nowhere else.

 

I know, my darling, that you believe in Death-

Tears of choices that you made wither your face-

I know that you believe-

In living in the moment-

And nowhere else.

 

I know, my darling, that you believe in Life-

In which there is no sense but simply sit and gaze-

At windy waters underneath the sky-

I know that you believe-

In being in the moment-

And nowhere else.
