I thought love lived in touch and sound,
In arms that hold, on common ground.
But love began when all went still
No grasp, no name, no wish, no will.
No ‘you’ to praise, no ‘me’ to prove,
No steps to take, no roles to move.
It wasn’t found in being near
It rose when distance disappeared.
You looked, and I no longer spoke.
No claim was made, no promise broke.
We didn’t meet, we simply knew
When self is lost, love passes through.
Not side by side, not face to face,
But emptied out of time and place.
No two, no one, no need to stay
Just clear as light, then blown away.
Love isn’t built; it won’t belong.
It holds no shape, it moves along.
Not joining hands, but stepping free
No ‘you’, no ‘me’, just clarity,
Simply here, just what can be.
In arms that hold, on common ground.
