Love you are really all we ever longed for
Beneath the quest for power or control
You are there in the shadows
Hiding under all the hurt and pain
Hoping that we will not take too long
Before we uncover your true face
Love you may often wear the disguise of fear
Of anger or of shame
In a vain attempt to keep the truth hidden
But somewhere deep within
Our cells and bodies know
A truth far more profound
That love is found in the holding
And the unmasking
And yes even in the honouring of all of these states
Love you are the wholeness that awaits us
In the midst of great emptiness, sorrow and pain
Reminding us that life is such a powerful journey
One that asks us over and over again
To dig deep
And leave no stone unturned
Until we see your shining face
And that it is in the embracing
Of all of these states
Through love and loving
That we bring
What was nearly dead in us
Back to life
