That Love is all there is
Is all we know of Love,
It is enough, the freight should be
Proportioned to the groove.

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
Indicative that suns go down;
The notice to the startled grass
That darkness is about to pass.
