LOVE is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.
-Emily Dickinson
What are your thoughts and reflections on this poem by dear one Emily Dickinson? This is not another "help me with my homework question", I promise you. I'm looking for serious, deep, reflective thoughts you'd be willing to share. Thanks!

Love comes to us before life and survives our death. It
is what inspired all creation and sustains life/breath in the universe.
As those other famous poets, the Beatles, put it:
"Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need."
