I shall meet you in the depth of who you are,
where longing and desire are no longer
cravings of the smaller self,
but states of being emanating from the soul
that seeks the air and light of each new day.
This depth of you is where my heart may join with yours,
as soul to soul we walk in the oneness of life as it is.
I shall love you in the depth of who you are,
where how you look, and what you say, rise like
froth on the surface of a stormy sea.
Yet, underneath, in the deep place,
is the you that my heart knows in love and
that knows me in love.
This love is the shape of our new beginning,
the shape of a way of being together
that is always there, though left behind
as we took on the aspects of physicality
that brought us to the surface of ourselves.
Here is where we shall find each other again,
deep down beneath the froth,
the excitement of opinion, and outlook,
and fear, and disturbance,
in the deep place where all is quiet and one.
Here, we may hold hands as lovers and
beloveds, not knowing why, or how, or if
to hold each other's hand,
for those questions are on the surface,
but knowing that we are the beloveds
of each other, and of the world,
and of her self, and that as beloveds
we may walk together,
and sing together the song of life
that emanates without exception
from each of our hearts.
This song I would sing with you,
that is of your life and its expression,
and of your longing and its expression,
and of your great beauty that lives beneath
the restless waves of surface self.
In the place of love
we may sing together the song of life,
and be together the joining of life
with our breath, and our bodies,
and our voices, and our hearts,
and all that we may give rise to that is
of the One, the Beloved,
the eternal lover that seeks to love through us,
that we may live as one.
