Love: An Infinite Mystery. A Poem.

In its stubborn fury, love is power.
In its relentless selflessness, love is powerfully vulnerable.

How can one know such rich contradiction in a single moment?
In its infinite unfolding, love is a never ending mystery.
Without dates or schedules or times or expected completions!

Love stands still for no-one.
It moves and ebbs and flows in its infinite Nudge to discover itself through the album of your heart.

So why beloved one, do you want to box it so?
Why do you long to possess it?

How can you decode infinite mystery all at once?
And then what?
You will be left without wonder, awe, magic!

Beloved.
It is not about the knowing.
It is about the journey.
The unfolding.

And love – well, you’ll never win.
Because truth is – love is discovering its infinite facets through you.
Through your expression of it, your desperation for it, your longing to share from its abundant well.

Why push to know an infinite mystery my love?
When in all wisdom, you never will!

So what’s the key to knowing love?

To follow the mystery.

Through feeling!
Not schedules or timelines. Not when will this be over. It should be by now.
Not will I end up with her or him.

But wow – look at loves unfolding through the album of my heart.

Love.
What an infinite wonder!
