Love is the only boundary
Strong as death and soft as air
It protects
It guards
Innocence, Truth, Beauty
Love is the almighty river
The unstoppable cleanser
Smoothing away
The pain that whispers into the darkness
The reek of shame
The lies that branded your soul
Love builds
The pieces of you you never knew were missing
Cathedrals, families, friendships
Lighthouses for the lost
Love gives sight to blinded souls
Life to the waking dead
Legs to those who have forgotten how to dance
Love teaches
The only knowledge necessary
We are whole
Just as we are
Already love-able
Strong enough
Enough
Teaches us
How to rest, contemplate, create, LAUGH!
Love heals
The betrayed, belittled, abused and forgotten
Re-membering us into glory
Love burns as an infinite sun
And within its flames is the only place
You are safe from being consumed
Softness is the only strength
Gentleness the only might
Beauty is the only rest
Obedience the sole rebellion
Humility, breath itself
But love
Is the gate
So if you wish
If you please
Lift the latch
And see what lies
Within
The Eye of the Needle
