I measure my living in learning and loving.
I measure my learning in yearning
and my loving in learning; but
I never measure my loving in yearning
for loving, for I'm
never learning from yearning for love,
nor learning loving from yearning.
I'm learning to love and loving learning loving; but
I'm yearning to learn to measure what I'm earning
from learning to live, love, and earn love
instead of learning to yearn for life
lived without learning and loving.

I measure my living in learning and loving.
I measure my learning in yearning
and my loving in learning; but
I never measure my loving in yearning
for loving, for I'm
never learning from yearning for love,
nor learning loving from yearning.
I'm learning to love and loving learning loving; but
I'm yearning to learn to measure what I'm earning
from learning to live, love, and earn love
instead of learning to yearn for life
lived without learning and loving.
