Love Said to Me

 

----------

 

 

 

I worship the moon.

Tell me of the soft glow of a

candle light

and the sweetness of my moon.

 

Don't talk about sorrow,

tell me of that treasure,

hidden if it is to you,

then just remain silent.

 

Last night

I lost my grip on reality

and welcomed insanity.

Love

saw me and said,

I showed up.

Wipe you tears

and be silent.

 

I said, O Love

I am frightened,

but it's not you.

Love said to me,

there is nothing that is not me.

be silent.

 

I will whisper secrets in your ear

just nod yes

and be silent.

 

A soul moon

appeared in the path of my heart.

How precious is this journey.

 

I said, O Love

what kind of moon is this?

Love said to me,

this is not for you to question.

be silent.

 

I said, O Love

what kind of face is this,

angelic, or human?

Love said to me,

this is beyond anything that you know.

Be silent.

 

I said, please reveal this to me

I am dying in anticipation.

Love said to me,

that is where I want you:

Always on the edge,

be silent.

You dwell in this hall of

images and illusions,

leave this house now

and be silent.

 

I said, O Love,

tell me this:

Does the Lord know you are

treating me this way?

Love said to me,

yes He does,

just be totally…

totally… silent
