Faith is what leapsif dividends are uncertain
Love is what sings when fears of perdition pass
If you lack trust –
what's the point of rhetoric?
Love is nourished by faith
& the otherness of str–
angers melting upon embrace.
If you look at the matter deeply
(as more people should)
Isn't love the only dividend with value?
It's a condition in which a thousand "can'ts"
begin to become resounding "coulds."
