on valentine's day

let there be love on earth
and let it begin in me
let there be hope in the world
and let that shine out of me
today
god is our father, so we are family
let there be love on earth
and let it be born in me
let there be life on earth
and in the sea
let there be spurting growth
and worth and majesty
god is our mother
so daughters all out we
let there be life on earth
endless fountains
eternally
let there be lust on earth
the lust there was meant to be
let there thrusting and sighing
in loins, and mouths, in me
with god as our lover
lovers all our we
and the longing, tingling in your loins
says you belong to me
