What would you do
if you absolutely knew
you are loved — if you could
feel it inside
like a bright coal,
like a soft breath,
like the concentration of
everything you can take in
into one potent sphere inside yourself,
pulsing calmness and joy
in fountains, spilling laughter
bubbling and streaming
through your aura

What would you do
if you knew
the love you are
could light the same
in many others, anyone, in fact
that you can see?
