an open letter and invitation to Love…
(a response to marriage inequality)

my friends ~
i wrote this in honor of all who struggle…

i will Love
i will Love
i will Love them
until their hate
their ignorance
their fear
is exhausted.

for my Love knows no exhaustion

even as the lie hides behind religion and tradition
the Earth will give way and bear witness to my Love

even as the foundation of hate crumbles
under the pillars of fear and ignorance
my Love will rise, like a phoenix
out of the dust and ash
taking flight

i will Love
for
there is nothing but Love

let them march
let them shout
let them protest
let them strip
away my rights
let them fear me
let them hate me
let them beat me
with words, policy, laws, and bats
let them try to kill me
and bury me
with their hate
their fear
their ignorance

i will Love
i will Love
i will Love
