Love Itself

The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love.
 
In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me.
 
I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door -
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone.
 
All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance,
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance.
 
I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door -
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone.
 
Then I came back from where I’d been.
My room, it looked the same -
But there was nothing left between
The Nameless and the Name.
 
All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance,
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance.
 
I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door -
Then Love itself,
Love Itself was gone.
Love Itself was gone.
