The Calm Comfort of Love


 

The Calm Comfort of Love

I can still see it –
the blueness of your eyes
filled with love as they
reflected me
back to me.
I can still feel it
as I did the same for you.
An interconnection
that was so deep and genuine
even during hard times,
maybe especially so.
It’s what I miss the most
when we would have teamed up,
been there for each other,
found our way through.
When I really slow down,
drop into
 that serene place within,
I am able
to experience the warmth of it
expand to places
I can’t even identify,
have no real need to.
It contains an eclectic mix
of truth and mystery.
Little by little I have
come to understand that
the comfort of your love
has been
and will be
there forever.
Like the goodness of me,
it is in and around and through –
earthly and celestial
with a divinity
that is safe and right to enfold.
May I,
may each and every one of us,
discern the calm comfort of Love.
