returning

should the universe

return in upon itself

or our happiness

strain at the trials of life,

the brilliant illumination

of the jewels within our

body house–

contained in that sacred

heart shrine of equanimity,

we have vowed

to cherish this love

which came from god–

and of which no thought

could ever hold its true majesty–

by eternally nourishing

the constant flowing forth

is our lifetime of passion,

tenderness, and friendship.

the price of our hearts

is the debt we must repay

to Vishnu or whatever god

was there to witness the

sanctified bless’d union.

valuing the we

and nullifying the ‘I’

love is the world

that we inhabit.
