only love.

The universe
is filled with
vast regions
of cold
and empty
space.

And it astonishes me
that two people should be able to
reach through the cold, dark spaces
and truly touch one another.
That they could find their other
reach out and embrace.

The kind of embrace that sends
waves of heat out from one body
and through the being of the other
heat that tells the heart to open-
fully open-
to the heart of the other.

When the heart opens completely
it liquifies,
and seeks out the hidden passage
between the two hearts.
Radiating heat, collapsing into
the other. Combining into the one.

The union expands,
absorbing the entire
world around them,
collapsing it into
A single grain of sand.
And their eyes
supernova.

All of the cosmos is reflected
in the eyes – staring into the
universe, in the eyes of the other.
It is surrounded by the pure blackness
the eternal depth at the center.
Blackness that has such gravity
that not even time, or space
or even light can escape.

In this moment-
all time and space
and all thought of time
and space
cease to exist.
All is gone.
All is gained.
There is only the One –
there is only this single moment.

And in this moment
there are no labels-
there is no religion
no race
there is no age
and no gender.

There is only the One
only peace
only solace
there is only love.
