THIS LOVE THAT WE ARE
The sun shines down a childhood summer
On a tired and frightened world
Desperately trying to laugh away what it cannot.
I unlatch a window that opens into the garden
And I become a dove flying through the night
Now with my hand in yours
We are climbing the hill
The air is cool jasmine
The ground living flesh
The moon and stars make love all around us
Timeless silence breathes us out as flames
We are moving towards that which we love
And He is there waiting to greet us.
Did you doubt it ?
His smiling eyes flash as we melt headlong into His embrace
Then growing His hand around ours He says
“This is all you will ever need and want”
Now we are a white lake of singing light
Flowing deeper and deeper into His being
We spread ourselves and dissolve into fullness.
Without looking we see everything
Without moving we touch everywhere
Without knowing we are everyone
Now we sit gazing at that which we love
Or so it appears
But really we are this love awakening
In every particle of Creation.
Now we are stone
Now a garden of hyacinths
Now a river
Thunder
Autumn rain kissing the Ocean’s lips.
You turn to me as moon light
And I open as darkness.
Now I am sunlight
You a planet
You are sun
I the sky
Now we are timeless silence
Now I am sitting at this table
My head and heart no where in sight
I am lost in that which we love
In this love that we are.
