"And what does it feel like? It feels like love"

A Love Song in November So we have established that we exist Now and are sufficiently grateful for This chance that therefore we do not resist When existence asks a little bit more And what it asks is that we do our best Though it seems indifferent so we ask Searching for meaning like taking a test For up and down and best and worst we task Ourselves with finding meaning as we go And meaning is not invisible here Then when we find it at last we will know We found it since meaning is always clear A crystalline moment of clarity Made more beautiful by its rarity And so we find the elixir we need To carry us forward across the night And who finds meaning is happy indeed As though rediscovering a birthright Wherever meaning comes from it is there As always lost as it is always found That indefinable quality where We feel the universe turning around And feel that we are at the center of It all at the still point of the turning And what does it feel like? It feels like love From and towards as turning and returning How love feels is something no one can say Yet it is something everybody knows And it comes even as it goes away Love is beyond what merely comes and goes Love always is and it is everywhere The secret of to care and not to care We wonder about below and above And find meaning in each other by love +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMIX
