The River is Wide
The river is wide, my love, so wide, and the gulf between us seems so great...it is not.
I long to be in your arms every moment.
Love bridges all divides, closes every gap.
My choice is love. It is all that is real.
My choice is to tell the one I love how much I love him every day.
Other choices were made in the past to lead us to this place.
Therefore they were good. If we had not made those choices would we have come to this place where we now stand and love one another?
There is no other choice but to love, and take all that comes in the loving. Thereby those who love are made deeper and love more deeply.
With all the anger, frustration, confusion and pain that goes with loving, comes a finer truer love. All things come to this knowledge. All come to this place and choose love or fear.
Therefore choose love and in your loving cross all rivers,
close all rifts, unify all that is diverse and wonderful.
In all my choosing I have chosen this one thing.
To be with my love and to be only love. No goal is more worthy or more difficult to achieve.
In all my imperfection, in all your imperfection that perfection still shines through.
I would be with my love naked and unashamed in spirit to stand before God and be seen as I am. If the river whispered my name I would answer "Love is all there is." this is my Gospel, my prayer.
Let me be with my love to look upon him and see his essence without blame or judgement.
Love is not a game to play and those who play it as a game lose all.
If you found a lucky clover would your wish be? Would it be only to be One with your love?
That would be my wish. It is my wish. Now, today, and it is my choice.
