of the universe
slaps you in the face
and laughs at your foolishness
in thinking ‘I know’
that you begin to understand
what is truly important
and let go of petty foolishnesses.
It’s only when the very ground
on which you stand
crumbles beneath you
that you begin to realise
you have placed your trust in false gods
who can offer nothing
that is lasting or real.
It’s only when your ‘created’ world
falls apart at the seams
do you see you have constructed
a façade based on dreams and
strong imaginings.
And when the threads of your
constructed life wear thin and
decompose
do you see that all there is
is love
substantial
dependable
trustworthy
unbreakable
invincible.
Perhaps love has a different face
to the one you painted
in your dreams.
Perhaps love is clothed unexpectedly
and not as you imagined.
Perhaps love speaks with
an unfamiliar tongue
and not as you anticipated.
When everything else falls apart
and you feel abandoned and lost
then you are empty enough
to see that
love alone is
substantial
dependable
trustworthy
unbreakable
invincible.
