All of it is love

Verse 1]

I stopped looking for love in faces

Stopped asking hands to hold me whole

I felt it breathing in the quiet

Like something ancient I already know

It wasn’t louder than the sorrow

It didn’t try to fix the pain

It just stayed

Wide open

Calling everything by name

I felt the edges fall away

The me, the you, the line between

Not escape —

Arrival

This is love

Not yours or mine

Not a promise

Not confined

This is love

Before the split

Before the wound

Before the myth

I don’t fall into it

I remember it

All of it is love

I see it in the ones who hurt me

In the ones I couldn’t save

I see it in the breaking open

In the mercy inside rage

I see it moving through the seasons

Through the body, through the breath

Holding birth

Holding death

Without preference

Nothing outside

Nothing cast away

Even the darkness

Is held

This is love

Without a face

Without a need

Without a place

This is love

That doesn’t ask

Doesn’t take

Doesn’t chase

I don’t reach for it

I rest in it

All of it is love

There was never something missing

There was never something wrong

We were taught to separate

What was whole all along

I don’t need to be chosen

I don’t need to be seen

I am standing inside

What has always been

This is love

As one breath

As one pulse

As all of this

This is love

Before the name

Before the fear

Before the flame

I don’t search for it

I soften into it

All of it is love

No outside

No inside

No exile

No return

Just this

Still

Here
