Realization

In Truth, there's actually no distance between God and me.
Neither a thin strip of wind from the depths of the Abyss,
Nor a molecule between my flesh and bones, nor a grain of memory.
He lives in the inmost, utmost, indefinable space-less Space.

There's no one even between you and me, except in our enmity,
For love dissolves all time and distances, and makes us all One
In the glory of beatitude, we are true citizens of Eternity
Where eventually we shall all return to our destined home.

We have all seen and heard of the rise and fall of empires,
The instant dissolution into engulfing ashes the twin towers
That once stood proudly like shining, defiant spires
Dwarfing even the highest dreams of men and molten powers.

In Truth, there's nothing that we really own except our soul,
And Love becomes meaningful only when given to one and All!
