Vast Love

The vast Love swells all around me

Washing in huge waves over the deck rails

Flooding the inner cabin of my soul

Threatening to overturn my fragile vessel

On the high seas of life.

How much more can I stand

Of this beautiful sweetness,

This connection with Source,

This unending longing for union

That makes me want to laugh and cry

At the same time?

This Love knows me

And loves knowing me

And makes me love

Everyone

Everything

And even myself.

Words are such traitors;

All of them pale beside 

This force, 

This palpable reality,

This Being.

I surrender to it

Trusting I will not die

In its aweful beauty.
