LOVE IS
LOVE IS
Love is…
Love is…
The hand still reaching
when fear says:
withdraw…
The pulse beneath the noise
The signal beneath the static
The hidden rhythm
beneath interruption
Love is…
Love is…
Attention made sacred…
Attention made sacred…
To truly notice
without possession
To stay present long enough
for another soul
to fully arrive
Steam rising from tea
Dust in morning light
A trembling voice
saying:
stay…
Love is…
Love is…
Healing but not erasing the wounds
Carving carefully…
into the raw truths
Carving carefully…
to find the sculpture within
to reveal the true shape of the heart
Removing the noise
cut by cut
love reveals itself
lowering the armor
burying the shame
erasing the fear encrusted over the heart
Not destroying the self—
No—
Revealing it
Because beneath the noise
there was always something waiting
A pulse…
A tenderness…
A luminous thread
running through all things
Love is…
Love is…
Through nerve and nebula
Through roots splitting stone
Through whale song
beneath black water
Binding dust to starfire
Binding stranger to stranger
Binding the living
to the yet unborn
Invisible—
yet everywhere
What pulls the planets
through the dark unseen?
Love does…
Love does…
What teaches rivers
the shape of the mountain?
Love does…
Love does…
The whole universe
leaning toward relation
leaning toward divine coherence
I and I are Love…
I and I are Love…
Waiting for the love…
Waiting for the love…
Like dry earth
waiting for rain
Like lonely souls
waiting to hear:
You are real to me…
You do not disappear here…
I am the love in you
and you
are the love in me
Love with dirt on its hands
Love with tears in its mouth
Love carrying bread and roses
through the ruins
Love that rises from the ashes
Love refusing
to abandon the world
when it has abandoned you
And when the masks fall
And when the noise fades
And nothing false remains—
Only presence…
Only connection…
Only the great breathing fabric
binding all things together
And there—
at the center—
all there is…
all there is…
IS LOVE.
Radiate perpetual love…
Radiate perpetual love…
