When once the veil fell from my knowing
And all my life, i saw your being
Only wanting to care for me,
Only seeking to embrace me;
And at the end of our friendship,
How well i see
The wall between I and thou
Reinforced and upheld .. by me
Wherefore this bitter pill reveal'd
To behold and swallow
and lived out by my will:
Reasons which °principle° kept,
disintegrate (as death's secret).
In seeking love, i held you back
from touching me;
But how i failed, for now i see:
The simple truth, the impulse
which follow'd loving me
Yes i can still see the grit between "we"
In character on earth
(which we complied with, before our birth)
But death's medicine cures,
sharp focus restores;
forgiveness can flow,
despite the role we chose.
I see the wrong, i see the theme
and enduring song;
Composed by us
in mysterious imploring unending deathless love.
...
I understand now
my love for thee, is finally free
(and thine for me)
And its shadow on earth
may still haunt or echo on
Yet love returns home, strip'd and reborn
2017 Peneleapaí the first time someone significant in life has crossed the threshold of death, an unmistakable truth as to the nature of our relationship is painfully revealed.
