if sorrow is how we learn to love
we begin with a deficit
emptied before we are filled
a cold hand never warmed
an old heart never young
if sorrow is how we learn to love
what should we believe
let’s believe in faith
courage to leave the shore
filling our sails with warm sunshined air
if sorrow is how we learn to love
let’s choose to see love
as a start not an end
as a balloon lighter than air
as an anchor without weight
if sorrow is how we learn to love
let’s unlearn sorrow
release and relearn
like unknotting a shoelace and retying it
using the whole length pulled tight and secure
(but not too tight)
And then run.
