Could It Not Be Possible

Could it not be possible?

To look the world in the face,

The rage,

Unbridled star-destroying might,

and say,

“I love you.”

Could it not be possible?

To put self-service to bed,

To sink into bliss,

Sink into the arms of a much grander Mother

Who gives with absence and depth,

Unthinkable dark depths,

Breathing awful fires that fuel the forge of life.

Could it not be possible?

To see that striving casts

The very bonds that chain us,

Making us as good as strangers,

Teaching us that we are mere visitors

And not mirrors held up to the sun.

You are not a stranger here.

Could it not be possible?

To fall in love

With this marvelous and wicked expression

Without falling into the trap

That there is anything you can hold on to

Or that there could ever be the possibility

Of grasping it at all.

Any direction you wish.

No matter the point you choose,

You will always be in the center of the sphere.

I met the entire Universe on the street.

They had no idea at all

The miraculous things they had dreamt up.

They told me

They were the servant of a warrior god

Who demanded peace-

What a task to set before yourself!
