I Love Therefore I Am
by Dane Allred


Descartes once said,
“Cogito ergo sum”.
I think therefore I am.

But I may only think I am thinking
When I repeat the empty phrases
I have been taught.

I know I am alive,
That I survive
And swim in the maelstrom of this world.

But I am most defined by love.
Those people, things and ideas I love.

Without the connection from you to me
Without the love we share,
There is no existence,
Only survival.

My new motto is
“Amor ergo sum”;
I love therefore I am.
