SOUL UNION
My dear, our most visible happiness takes place
And springs forth when transformed from within.
Our lives together pass into transformation as the
Outward world dwindles into a lesser threshold.
Where once formidable structures once existed,
Something contrived takes its place; but we in
Our inward love for each other built a house not
Made of stone but out of the fabric of soul love.
The immensity of Chartres and other spires rising,
Their music rising higher does cannot out last
Soul union destined to sing in eternal places.
Such a love is ungraspable in this realm of out streched
Arms and can only be received by a chaliced heart
Opened to the note and tone of the beloved.
