with whatever time you have left here
be beautiful
be beautiful for no reason
or every reason
and even if you have very little
be beautiful with it
love doesn’t need much
it is not greedy
or self centered
love is not an arrogant state
and those who bomb others
and wage war
or cling desperate to power
know nothing of love
or beauty
if you must give your allegiance to something
give it to the tenderness of love
live a beautiful life
be more open
share yourself freely
adore others as though they were yourself
cast off the shackles of fear
and be as free as you can
let the war mongers fight
but don’t let them steal your heart.
