Surrender of Surrender... Poem

Prestile Stream in Easton, ME
"Be still and know
I Am God"
wrote the poet
long ago
One sees
in such Quiet
no
knowing
neither God
nor self
How can anyone know anything
when put to death
by such a
sweet Kiss
that
for a first time ~
endlessly ~
Life is being
truly lived
"Where?"
don't look and
you'll see
"How?"
like the Sun
caressing the Waters
Now, forget all questions
only be the openness
to receive
Who would not surrender even surrender
for such a Lover
like This
The Sage was asked, "Tell me what love is?" Said the Sage, "I can't. I knew, until I approached Her. Approaching Her, all my understanding of Her, She burned away."
