waiting for the first opportunity
i released it across the blazing
dawn and into the soft night sky

it burst its bank and kept
flowing making the mighty rivers
of earth into mere trickles
in comparison

it hasn’t stopped since, it now fills
all space, time and dimensions
yet it continues unexhausted
increasing as it overwhelms
all

nothing is able to diminish
or impede its expansion
i am borne on it, sustained
and defined by it
this love u released in me
all those years ago
though you couldn’t bear its intensity
and absolute selfless purity

it assassinated who i was and
transformed me into a Being
forever intoxicated in its wonder

we brushed briefly past each other
all those years ago yet the encounter
was the flint that sparked a galactic
storm and dance in eternity from which
i could never return to the limitations
of formal, contained humanity

u appear at times in the realities and dreams
this love weaves as it spreads
from my heart and bursts through my brain
showering all existence in its glory

u have made me a foreigner,
an alien on this planet
though alone i am forever grateful
for the gift u unknowingly bestowed

i cannot help but love you always
