Love’s Singularity

The planet was already in place

Tranquil in its apartness

While other cosmic bodies remained

Uninhabitable in their otherness

When your train arrived

Delivering you to a deserted platform

Love seemed reserved for others

Was it the location of ordinariness

Another stop no one remembered

A place where you lost your way

In a maze of identical paths

Where you heard for the very first time

The sound of your own footfalls

As you passed faceless clocks?

Beyond

As you sought your goal

The intersection of two curved paths

Radiated the sun’s insistent light

The moon’s reticent dark

Visibility faltered

Sound arrested

Heartbeat slowed

Hesitated

Stopped

Befell

One

Might you have stepped through the sun’s heat

And found the two paths curving endlessly

Giving you a glimpse of eternity’s paradox

To wonder about

To muse

To be?

For

Harmony knows not of separateness

Abiding singularity’s state of love

Invincible
