When we love
with a love
that exceeds
our expectations of love,
we ignite a fire
in our being
that unites with
the infinite,
the penetrating
incapacitating
power of the All
is engendered there.

Incapacitating
it is
because it erases
our
mortal individuality
and implicates us
in a nameless
immortality.
(The human
and all that it imagines
and comprehends,
even of love,
has boundaries -----
the temporal frame
of earth
and life and death
and the portrait of
our living
that that frame embraces---
is our lives
is our lives.

That frame,
the only portal
at our disposal
that gives us acccess
to the beyond
is the subtle,
delicate
heart
so inextricably wedded
to mind
and the melody
plucked on the strings
that bind
them
is the song of our love
seducing us to love
beyond our limits.
When we love
with a love
that exceeds
our expectations of love,
we ignite a fire
in our being
that unites with
the infinite,
the penetrating
incapacitating
power of the All
is engendered there.
