A Solitary Dream


Why Love?
When greed is so much easier,
and want is much less precise;
Need can fill a moment with pieces of the self.

Why Love, indeed-
when the salvation march is a single file
and faith is a table for one;
Life is a solitary dream.

So in the mirror we cannot stand mute
as vapors of pregnant breath
carry truths we cannot deny,
Why Love? For it overwhelms my life--
I watch as answers gather
in the wells of my eyes
