Without Doubt

It is not possible for me to express how I feel without your doubt.

Whether a stranger, known, or loved.

It is not possible for me to do for you without your doubt.

Whether a stranger, known, or loved.

It is not possible for me to love without your doubt, at least in part.

Doubt springs from the evasion of risk.

From my need to protect.

From self-interest.

With art I make for you,

I love without your doubt.
