Loving Me is Loving You

I love you –
Simply put
It’s a feeling I believe not even the most cleverly put together string of words could possibly convey
Or hold the full weight and magnitude of this force
Your Spirit fills me up –
completes the expression of my essence
In ways only known within
It lives, dwells, grows and expands in the depths of my Soul
Because you are me
and I am you
But seeing you-me as separate…
Wow, to marvel at the beauty
This is difficult to accept
At times, I feel awe
– moments of stillness and silence so deafening I can hardly think for it is beyond thinking and feeling where We exist –
Others times, I feel lost
Denying what Is
Wounded by pain, judgment, torment – the illusion of duality nestled in the Mind masquerading as All
Alas, I finally See –
Beyond flesh and bone, my Eyes find Home in the Soul
I see You, which is seeing Me
And I feel complete
Love, everlasting
No need to explain away
Or analyze, pick apart and piece together
Even if I did, We did
It would not matter
The deep sacred knowingness
The Light recognized
The Dark revealed
Both equally met with Love
Compassion, unconditional embrace for unity
Because, Spirit of I Am
Is here
With “us”
But really We are One
What an absolute gift to know You
To feel me
To see the mirror
And trust in Love
