'Yes' and 'love'

I search the whole universe
for words to describe this
precious connection of Oneness.
I ask all the realised teachers
for the right words.
Each of their words is a confirmation
of what is already in my heart.
Not unfamiliar or strange
they are simply
‘yes’ and ‘love’.

Yes
an acknowledgement
an acceptance of life as it is
this passing show
a shifting impermanent shadow play.
Yes
to awareness
watching and delighting in
the passing play
without being pushed or pulled
by any of it.
Yes
to connectedness that binds us together.
Yes
to love itself
an infinite thread creating the fabric
 on which the universe is woven.

Love
a grain of sand
being all earth, all solidity.
Love
a droplet of water
being all streams, rivers and oceans.
Love
a flame in the fire
being all warmth, all light.
Love
an out-breath
being all breath of life.
The wind that carries the song of love
to all corners of the cosmos.
Love
the present moment
being all moments
filling all space.
Love
all words, all languages
all communication and connection.
Love
a means of heart meeting heart.
Love
the yes in me
meeting the yes in you
the smile passed from eye to eye
the clear confirmation of Oneness.
