To love as nothing.

To grasp assurance in loosened
fingers...unafraid of what
may fall.

To vanish in our reach.

As if our arms extend in the
farthest reaches of our
dreams.

And yet we are not absent from this
final touch.

We are the kiss of air beneath the
reach of fingers.

To have nothing left to say.

To speak with wordless tongues that
ache from a taste of deeper
stillness.

To love as nothing.

As only this...

"To love as nothing.

To vanish in our reach

...and to dissolve
in the final touch,
becoming Love
in its purest essence,
enhaling each other,
exchanging
our divine breath
of life
and sharing
the sweet stillness
of knowing
... just knowing

As only this ...


Wonderfully inspiring, dear Eric.

I love you. Margherita

Ericc -- amazing writing; an aspiration perhaps only the truly wise can reach, I think!

Oh, Merlin...your vision of Truth is just so incredibly magical...only you could express this in such a mesmerizing way. Thank you seems so inadequate.

Love and Light...jc

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

I realize that others have commented on this, but this is a really good line

You read before you words I write-
See before you my soul,
spinning on  waves of thought,
painting memories of time
