before you know what love means—
you can just love first,
and recall that within yourself,
by keep your heart opening—
softened your grace, decorated your light
through the lessons you’ve learned,
into your own precious heart—
into those cracks
as you dive
freely and truly,
through the ones you love,
in every movement of transformation,
that you can cherish—
just to know:
to love is simple
(now read from the bottom up)
