We will be reading and analyzing the poem: 

"This is a Love Song" by: Zahara Heckscher

This is a love song

to the invisible waves

that travel through the air

finding the antenna

of the small drum

that passes messages

to the nerves

inside

This is a love song

to the one who knows that wisdom

is in the way we ask questions,

and who wields questions

like a sword beaten

into a plow, planting seeds

that will grow into millet

and mangoes and magnolias,

sustaining earth & her children

generations of grain & flowers

This is a love song

This is a love song

to those who answer

This is a love song

to all the hands we do not see

drumming invisible waves of sound

This is a love song

to the knowledge that invisible

things can be as real

as a rock

this we know because

hate is as real as lead

love is as real as blood

radio waves are as real

as thousands of people marching

for justice

nerves demanding action of limbs

fueled by the sound of

the drumbeat

inside
