if lovers glow astronauts will only see the earth as an illuminescent ball soft and gentle unlike the sun

if this is love, this is life
to search far and wide for years to finally find another spirit tied to your soul
if this is peace, this is heaven
we don't even have to die to reside in God's perfection
if this is happiness, this is death
as only in death will we be truly contented
if this is oxygen, this is intoxication
to the highest degree, we are high and drunk
if this is love, this is beauty.
