How do you know
if you’re getting closer to Life?
When you choose to love.
Then you will know Love,
after the choice,
and Love is the only thing
that is greater than Death.
If we do not choose Love
we invite Death in.
If we choose to hate,
and allow ourselves to hate
anyone else,
we let Death take residence
in our hearts
and it will grow
until Death becomes
the only thing
that’s left.
