Poetry list

overcome

so much reduces
me to tears and
collapse ravishing
music and an
everyday item
touched by you
and the astonishing
of love and once
belonging so
many things come
and go but it is
the goingness that
now predominates
all shall pass the
loneness of the
evergrowing nothing
the habitation of
true love where
all is given but
never possessed
except that I am
possessed by a
belonging coming
from nothing I
have or own and
never will it was
revealed in our
love and union
it hurts all the
more in the
parting that
overcomes like
the great wave
dashing us all
into the fragments
and allness of
union on the
shore of heaven
