Quotes from The Gift

There is
A madman inside of you
Who is always running for office -
Why vote him in,
For he never keeps the accounts straight.
He get all kinds of crooked deals
Happening all over town
That will just give you a big headache
And glue to your kisser
A gigantic
Confused
Frown.

When all your desires are distilled
You will cast just two votes:

To love more,
And be happy.

Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,

Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife

Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.

God has written a thousand promises all over your heart
That say, Life, life, life is far too sacred to ever end.
