A SILENT EMBRACE

When two people embrace in emotions pure light
the world stops and, for the briefest of moments,
lingers within a timelessness that stays for ever:
Time past, time present and time future held firm
within the momentary shared joy of living as one.

So rare is the oneness of our collective known-ness,
it stops us in our tracks; speechless and yet present
words hold back as the pure beauty of beyond-ness
fill up the moment with something which is always
present, never far from being found: pure humanity.

For when we choose to release the barriers of self,
opening up in that truthful human place of trust,
there explodes from within the deepest shared self
a mesmeric and wonderful expression of all we are.
In that silent and pure place is humanities full love.
