That you are beyond the reach of love ---
This is mere illusion, self-created distortion
of the field of love you are
and I am with you there.
That all ways are blocked to you ---
You are simply looking for the door without
when it is there within you even now,
and I am knocking there.
That you have waited too long ---
That is a story you are telling, one I know
nothing of and still I will wait for you and
love you where you are, even there.
All I know is how the wind has carried me
and with me you within my heart.
Love is the only truth I know
and I am seeking you there.
Love is a mystery. We cannot see it but we can feel it so strong that it produces both great joy and sorrow. I loved your poem though. It's a HUGE part life!Well done!
