Memorandum

Kevin Hulme

There will be a day when our Hearts give up.

And from there , an empty Void running on: 

To the next day, the next, onto the next.

Then all days lead onto infinity.

An endless Sea of suffocating Night.

The encompassing darkness of death's Tomb.

So let us fall in Love while we are here:

Let us Love until it's Varnish lies thin.

Let us Love to outshine the Swelling Sun.

Let us Love and humiliate the Moon.

Let us Love and to all Nature confound.

Let us Love and make  a Stand to Madness,

The  daily grind from the Act of being.

To shake a fist at the Pageant Absurd,

The dire swirl of the Worlds Calliope.

Oh!  Just let us Love and be done with it,

And let Blind Hate choke on it's toxic bile.

          And because death is inevitable and the world often absurd, the only meaningful, defiant, human response is to love wildly, intensely, and without restraint while we still can. πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈ

            If there is a 'Meaning of Life' , its to Love and be Loved. Thanks for Reading.

              Wow, Kevin...what a fierce declaration! Against death, meaninglessness, routine, and hatred, you raise love as the one rebellion worthy of our brief existence. This is passionate, defiant, and deeply moving. Excellent poem, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

                A battle cry wrapped in a love poem, throwing a fist at the darkness and choosing life anyway.
                The world may be absurd, but these lines refuse to leave without lighting a fire.
