The temple of Love is not Love itself; True Love is the treasure, not the walls about it. Do not admire the decoration, but involve yourself in the essence, the perfume that invades and touches you - The beginning and the end. Discovered, this replaces all else, the apparent and the unknowable. Time and space are slaves to this presence.
The Alchemy of Love
You come to us
from another world
From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love.
You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and King.
You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
Through your loving
existence and nonexistence erge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
~Rumi
The "decoration" of love is what gets us every time.
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing feeling when you find the essence that transforms and merges your spirit to that of another. Beyond the measure of essence for a person, but additionally a love for the things we do that inspire us, and those around us. Knowing that, my love is in more places than one.
Yes, the transformative, creative, timeless, and transmutive powers of love are truly amazing! Especially how it connects all humanity and can make someone feel nearly invincible. It's so vital to our existence, yet in the Creator's infinite wisdom, we were given free will to CHOOSE to love... Amazing!
