OUR LOVE WILL TAKE US BEYOND OURSELVES OUT ONTO THE ENDLESS OCEAN OF LOVE —for Joan “When two hearts are in perfect alignment, Pure unconditional love will flow Between them as the two become one in Union on the infinite ocean of Love.” —Mirabai Words are harsh. My touch is far more gentle; Let me hush you in the music Of my love; Let me forget with You and remember; Let me hold you, Speaking to you in Tender tones. When I am down, hold my hand. Remind me that words Mean little— Hold me. Let me cry when I need the tears, Let me tell you How it is, And do not show me chains. Bring your hair down, Let go of all the fetters And love will be the Only thing we ever know. If you really love me, Do what it takes, But do not give me What isn’t you Because you pity And want to help. Pity is not love, But a shield from love. Close your eyes, And let yourself fall Into the farthest reaches Of what I am, As I myself am falling Into you— It is not dying, It is not a loss of individuality. It is a loving that Will take us beyond ourselves Out onto the endless Ocean of love. June 11, 1967 Fernandina Beach, Florida
