A Lover In Life

We live in the pursuit
of
material possessions
Money hoarded, saved
awaiting the next
recession

Things, we think, will save us
from ourselves and our

given and received
platonic and romantic
fleeting and remaining
I know the truth....
Love keeps the fires
flaming

So, you keep your stuff and your things
I own the true riches of this life
love, connection, peace
the inner joy
that being a lover in life brings
