L O V E… this the lament
this the longing
this the lure
this the levity
the haunting call to heart
the savor of soul
know I its grace
as I hold a rose in hand
as delicate petals unfold
as the fragrance of its existence fills time
as I behold the soaring flight of the butterfly
as branch and bow hold strong
embracing each season of change
as the alchemic sun warms
as the winds speak their secrets
as the waters ebb and flow
as the dark night bears stars that shimmer
as each new dawning greets my awakening
as the breath is
the pulsing the passion
the receiving the giving
it is the embrace of a YOU
of a YOU
the YOU of ALL
YOU… the Yielding, the One, the Unity…
and so LOVE is known… is known… is known.
