Let Our Love Be Like A River

let our love be like a river- flowing between us singing and dancing. make her- our soul, our messenger, our beautiful singer, our wise path-finder. love would listen to our pain, our laughter; and carry our unspoken words from one, to another. ask her to sing song of a sobbing swallow; ask her to dance dance of a happy water meadow. let love divide us, unite us- together and same time. divide us in individuality, unite us in oneness. we are one yet two. we are two yet one. we are dissolved in each other; yet, carry our own unique fragrances forever. in love, none should die- neither you, nor me; neither love, nor those- who watches us, inspires us, supports us. in love, all should smile together- the happy earth, the silent moon, the lonely night, the boisterous birds. in love, all should cry together the time, the space, the garden the Father, the heaven. we are two shores of a river; and love, like water- flows between us. we watch her, and wonder- how beautiful, how wonderful how infinitely kind she is! while in between, flows the river the shores are happy for ever.
