The Meaning of Love

Both light and shadow

are the dance of Love.

 

Love has no cause;

it is the astrolabe of God’s secrets.

 

Lover and Loving are inseparable

and timeless.

 

 

Although I may try to describe Love

when I experience it I am speechless.

 

Although I may try to write about Love

I am rendered helpless;

my pen breaks and the paper slips away

at the ineffable place

where Lover, Loving and Loved are one.

 

 

Every moment is made glorious

by the light of Love.
