Love all that matters

Call it the necessity
           and the flower of life
though neither of those
           does it justice in the least

think of the moral qualities
           present in our consciousness
think of all the choices we make
           throughout our complex lives

and then consider the thread
           of simplicities that runs
through the very heart
           of all that matters

and know that that love
           is all that matters
that is all that matters
           that is all
