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.
