Eternal Love

Gazing at the stars,
     perspective sharpens.
Are we meant
     to live alone?

Our heart,
imprisoned in its walls,
     aches for communion.
We are incomplete.

The hope of young lovers
     too often
     finds marriage
A house of strangers.
Did any lover
     want love
     to end?

Love until death
     could never
     bring joy
To the One
Who created it
     to last
     forever.

How does devotion
     grow?
How can souls
     unite?
Love must be more
     than chance.

The secret of marriage
     radiates
     from its Source.
Physical union brings
     two lives
     into the embrace
of the Inventor
     of passion.

Three become One;
     Inseparable.
Purified feeling with
     Golden thought;
     melted.

Separating
     a Triune marriage
     tears apart
The fabric
     of the universe.

The Age
     of Eternal Love
     expands with the
Fidelity of lovers
     bound to God
     through lineage.

Ten billion years
     from now,
     how many
Grandchildren
     will bounce
     on the knee
Of our Parent?

Our marriage
     will still be young;
     time enough
     to love together

In perfect resonance.
