Love
We cannot be split, one from another,
We of the same self, the one being.
How moving the wonder,
The single coin that is us,
Two separate faces, two sides unlike,
All of a piece
All of one core,
The same in differentness.
Marvelous the crafting of love
Melting, minting, melding
In fashion so mysterious it defies all.

Love so calm, so quiet, so steely certain-
Too intense, too pure,
Too permanent for understanding-
There is only knowing, love.
Your beautiful face
And the one voice saying
Forever, now, now
Before now
Beyond now
Love.
