drowning in love

drowning in love
can this be possible
and its place will
know it no more it
is the release from the
burden of presence
and memory and on
our terms spells
annihilation because
we are loved beyond
limits the conceptual
falls away in a being
that is nothing to me
to all yet everything
and so much more what
is this mystery it is
so near so real so true
inapprehensible to the
soul alone the
realm of the spirit
the material every
day is permeated by
the other the unseen
reality undergirding
the fragile solidity
of passing flesh yes
we are drowning
even when the tide
seems out and the
dry lands are safe
we are drowning
but in the waters
of love eternal
love
