god is love
there isn't a reason for love
it softens the heart without warning
it comes in the dead of the night
it enters the day without warning
it follows no particular course
it sails on the sea of surprises
it's signs and it's wonders to show
as bright as the sun as it rises
it lightens the dark of despair
it opens the soul unto laughter
though tears still come as they will
joy enters the soul shortly after
and they say that god's name is love
that's correct in my estimation
he can shift any sadness to joy
I believe that it's his obligation

Quiet love is
and still
When we thrash
When we cry out in pain
That silence absorbs those
Sometimes the wailing echos
We hear them for as long as we seem to need to
For as long as we seem to want to
For as long as we forget who we are
But in the end
They fade
Wrapped in an embrace of the noiseless void
Motionless love is
and still
When we flail
When we twirl and writhe and lash out
The space for that to happen is there
It can seem to get crowded
Here on this rock
A brace of knuckles feels a wall
For as long as we seem to want to
For as long as we forget who we are
Deep love is
and still
A fathomless depth
Bourne of cool swirling surprise
Supporting us here as we drift
Gifting us the void into which we stumble
Never judging, never taking, never demanding, never deceiving
Patient love is
and still
As it all plays out
As we inevitibly
As we eventually
Find our feet on the shore
Of here
Of now
Of forever
