Cigarette Break Outside a Bar
by @d-simpson
There's some sanity
in these circumstances
that slide through my view:
"Is it possible to live like you?"
He asked without knowing what
he meant, "because I want to know."
She laughed, still hugging a stranger,
"Inside you're very busy, calculating.
Only alone-ness can give true happiness.
Create some silence within,
for silence is love; and where
there is emptiness, love can flow."
"But how can I love so much?"
He spat his snide remark.
"No love can be inexhaustible."
"For me there is no other-ness;
every one is an extension
of my Self." She smiled.
"All the love I give is returned;
every drop taken is returned to the source.
It is inexhaustible because nothing is wasted."
