I really do feel quite a bit better.

Love has good manners and does not take
selfish advantage.
It is not arrogant but rather
breaks down barriers.
It is not touchy and does not gloat
over the downfall of others.
Composed and gentle, love possesses
an inner strength and warmth.

Take a moment when it's offered,
while caught in traffic
or waiting for a plane.
These light-filled breathing spots
are spaces where inventions
are devised, sonnets composed.
