Love is limitless.
It cannot be contained
And projected onto one person,
No more than the sun’s rays
Can be packaged and sold to one buyer.

We are all energy, vibrating in a mortal coil.
Love is an energy that courses through
Each being linked into a great chain
That wraps around infinity an infinite
Number of times, a chain that reaches
Beyond the veil and keeps us tethered
To this dimension of life and death.

Love cannot be controlled;
Let it spread wherever the surge
Of energy takes it. I’d rather grasp
At loose ends of its wake than
Firmly clutch a diluted version of love.
