The Lovely Predicament of Life
To live is to love, for what else is life worth?
What is life to a dazzling butterfly that has just emerged from its chrysalis and has but one gay hour to live and love?
What is life to the colorful songbird as it sits on a meticulously chosen branch composing verse after verse to woe that special other?
What is life to the handsome man who has riches beyond our wildest dreams, but a heart with no partner to beat a rhythm with?
What is life to the famous, the powerful, the beggars, the downtrodden, the belittled, the patronized…the women and men that share the life force of mother earth?
Indeed, what is life, if not to live and to love?
Shun fear….go ahead, try it…live gaily and love passionately,
For there is no living without loving
(Maliq Walter Muro©)
