One

"So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."" NIV Matthew 19:6

You came to me
floating in air.

Suddenly
you were there
a whisper in the night
in flight
so fair.

We were one.

Our spirits fused
in heat
blazing hotter that a sun.

One head, one brain
one chin, one nose, one set of toes
one set of bones, our own
one cover of skin, our flesh within.
in sweet refrain.

One mouth to eat
one heart to beat
one pool of blood
pumping oxygen through you and me.

Love
with Light
in darkened night.

One egg, one seed, a spark, a light
glowing one new candle
brightly
lighting night.

One new twinkling star
lighting God's Kingdom
as we three
became one spirit tonight
just one light
to glow afar.

When you came to me
free
over land and sea
spiritually
in Love.

When you were there
in my air.
And we became
one.

I think I knew this feeling once, I wish I felt like one person instead of two

Thank you, Kay for your kind thoughts. My feelings of love are simply that we are spirits fusing into each other and into God. And I believe that one spirit can and does love many others. As in God, Christ loved all of us. This is why I can truly say to everyone, honestly and deeply, I Love You.
As I do!

I believe this is the only true love All other love thoughts we speak and write of are merely little fenced parts of this love, caged for selfish purposes.
