~The Wholeness Love Brings~

Love is the undone dress Left crumpled on the floor, The tenderness unravelled Love is the unsung song The broken lyric The longing left behind Love is the crest fallen The pinnacle descended And the mourning peak

And yet love is the temple Of forgiveness and faith It is the garden of our dreams Love is the unconditional

Love’s mystery directs Its own course, Paths undiscovered seek Resolution in their union Love is a lament Of all that could be, An impulse of desire That finds its own way Love surmounts the impossible

Love is the yearned-for promise Hoped for and delivered Love is pure and gentle Love is direct and truthful Love is a melody of our sameness And a symphony of our uniqueness Love brings us unexpected gifts And delights in the moment Love is worship, sacrifice and tolerance

Love gives everything But retains its own identity Love serves With no expectation of being returned

Love is the tranquil touch of healing And the dissolution of pain Love yearns for perfection And yet finds beauty in our flaws Love remembers everything And gives praise for the learnings

So that the crumpled dress May be worn with grace and beauty So that love may complete The undrawn circle So that we may exalt In the wholeness love brings
