Another e.e. cummings poem

Normally, I try not to repeat a topic or them in a short period of time, but the quality and genius of e.e. cummings makes it easy to allow an exception to my rule. Check out this poem below.


dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)

trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love 
though the stars walk backward)

honor the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death
away at this wedding)

never mind a world 
with its villains or heroes
(for god likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)
