Loving the Invisible

{A poem before I leave for my vow retreat tomorrow... peace & prayers to all.}

How do you love

a lover invisible?

The One who stirs

your heart into a frenzy

without a sight or sound.

Simply a glance of grace

a split second of connection

and there it is.

Then the light shines brighter

Reflection gives off beauty 

never before seen.

Your heart aligns with your soul

and you are bound up in love.

And in a moment quite like panic

you realize that you can't put

your feet on solid ground.

This one invisible, in-perceivable

 has bound you and will hold you

so that there is no way to steady yourself.

You must lean in and trust,

In that you will be held

And suddenly as darkness turns to light

The invisible will take shape

And what you can't even imagine,

a lover invisible 

will become clear.

How do you love the Invisible?- Love visibly.
