The Truth Is...

There are certainly,
unquestionably,
indisputably
many untruths in this world.
Bread molds before the expiration date,
gadgets are broken before the next infomercial hits the airwaves,
and flattery paints the world in dubious colors.
It is also the case that there are unshakeable truths.
We learn these in school:
2 + 2 = 4,
red and blue make purple,
and every good boy does fine.
Even more astoundingly,
Truth can be found,
in the wings of a butterfly or
the minor chords on a violin.
But,
most magical of all,
you exist,
my darling one.
And you and I
are all the evidence of Truth
I'll ever need.
