Why there are so many love songs
Why there are so many love songs
We sing about love
more than anything else
because we are human
the seekers of meaning
in the fractured reality
we call the anthropocene
Love is
the cosmological constant
the source of equilibrium
the order which emerges
from the apparent chaos
of the multiverse
we call humanity
Love is
as visible as gravity is
the force which changes
our disparate trajectories
bending us
toward the light
Love for another
is a ripple in spacetime
love for others
the wrinkles
sparkling in the light
of our only sun
falling upon the water
of the great lake
we call humankind
Love depicts
the prevalence of kindness
the domino effect
of spreading goodness
the waves of peace
breaking upon the shores
of our common existence
Love is the particle
the source of our unity
and hate the antiparticle
which will annihilate us
We need more love songs
more music
and more words
which will entangle us all
on our journey
across the bridge
toward the greater good
Without love
the wave collapses
the candle in the dark flickers
and the light dies
Love is
the standard candle
the glow against which
everything is measured
We can’t afford to fail
we can’t afford
to sing out of tune
Discord is not an option
We are the orchestra
There is only one universe
