Love is a Choice to Live
by Naomi
Sometimes, the world goes out,
and there isn’t a sound
in a moment at the end of a breath,
a pause in the vast expanse
of an evolving world,
that allows a timeless glance
of the cosmic dance.
Life as I know it
hangs in the balance,
and I see the purest light
in the center of a quiet night.
Far beyond everything,
an opening to slip away
is somehow made clear to me.
The past and future
give way to a sight that is more
than the eyes alone can behold,
when I am allowed to see
the timeless Presence
of Eternity.
Do I breathe in the life I know,
or let my final breath
end the flow?
My mind cries out to know
if it is time to go.
My heart is holding on,
for love is calling me to stay.
This sea of light is the soul,
a timeless peace within,
an unending glow to guide me home.
No wonder so many lives appear
in the slant of the setting sun
when the day is done.
No wonder our life seems so new
in the pure light of dawn.
All time is compressed in that sacred hour,
as we are blessed
in the unfurling flower of love
spreading its petals like fragile wings,
a beauty of being that becomes the song
of the thrilling glory of life
where we belong.
