ADMONITIONS TO A SPECIAL PERSON

Love? Be it man. Be it woman.

It must be a wave you want to glide in on,

give your body to it, give your laugh to it,

give, when the gravelly sand takes you,

your tears to the land. To love another is something

like prayer and can’t be planned, you just fall

into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.

Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

Song: “I Say a Little Prayer” by Aretha Franklin
