Banality

One

Empathy and compassion ~

The symbiotic lovers

Form the perfect concept

To exclusion of all others:

Unity of thought

  The highest Love expression,

Whether uttered or unspoken, 

In a flash is understood.

A spark ignites the oneness:

Flame kindled ~ eternal Good. 

The spiritual connection made ~

A beacon: unveiling

Buoy, barque and channel

Thru which to navigate. 

It is the life ring and the dock. 

It is the shelter and the rock.

That which is the landing 

Is all things possible with God. 

It passeth understanding 

And is beyond compare.

Ultimate communion guides,

Where unaided ear is frail,

And lifts up to the highest point ~

For Mind can never fail.

In eternal Mind we’re one

Though there exists no token: 

Material symbols cannot last,

But Love remains unbroken.

Hand in Glove

Two ideas that fit

Like hand in glove

Were made by Him

Who is the only Love.

These two in pre-existence

For one another

Are revealed to be constructed

And for no other.

God must have taken

A long time makin’

Us:

We are the colors,

We are the singing.

We are the dancing,

We are the speaking,

We are the loving,

We are the moving,

We are that perfect
