love

[desmond dillon]

   

  'the cup i hold in my hand  

  is filled with the wine of light.  

 It opened my eyes and Now

 i see the beloved everywhere.'

                   **

           

            On the path of love

    we are neither masters

nor the owners of our own lives.

      We are only a brush 

in the hand of the 'master painter.'

                    **

     My heart saw love

galloping alone towards the desert

and shattered by loves majesty

         fell in love with love.

                     **

  I praised you in the day

    but never knew it

  I slept with you at night

    but never knew it

  I believed i was myself

    but i was you

  and never knew it.

                     ***
