To Exist Or To Love

Every day of our lives is filled with uncertainty
It’s easy to exist 
When everything else fails 
We default our existence
But with love 
We learn to live

Love is music
Love is dance
Love is art
Love is books
Love is whatever lights up your soul

Our souls are more important 
Than the infinite universe that surrounds
When facing the things we turn away from 
When facing the unknown
Love is constant
Love brings you back 
from the depths of the dark
Love helps our souls to grow 
Our souls define 
whether we are living or existing
I chose to live
I chose to love
