Ther trick is...to love

The trick is to love somebody...If you love one person, you see everybody else differently."
~James Baldwin
Writer and Civil Rights activist

for a friend~


hearts stretch, shatter and rebuild
the same tissue paper that gets sheared
gets restored, through a time warp

no, don't try to go back to understand why-
you got yourself all involved with what's his name;
love yourself, whatever state of the union

you are in, and get to work--
at just a little loving you,
and soon enough you'll be

back in the soft stream of loving
another-- for who he or she is:
faith wears wings of non-expectancy
