LOVE UNPACKAGED
We try to describe it
Package it
Own it
Sell it
Personalize it
We try and barter it
Manipulate it
We beg for it
Pray for it
Search for it
Reject it
Revere it
Elevate it
Kill for it
Die for it
But love is elusive
Beyond description
Beyond packaging
Beyond the I that wants it
It’s not found
Because it’s the air we breathe
The ocean we swim in
It’s inside us and outside us
And it’s the essential fabric
Of all existence
Discovered only when everything that veils it
Is seen as illusion.
