I Get Lost

Pain is the royal path of love's into truth, They say.

Greatness to be born involves the pain of its birth, They say.

My comfort zone shows me the pain I am living, I say.

Pain is useful to love, if love is not being useful to me.

Great pain takes a great love to be not overcome, but seen.

Love sees pain, and values its seeing, only when you see it too.

The emptiness of life is filled up with pain by the love in you,

                         so that the love in you will then be full of the oneness of me too.                          

Preserved as a memory

you'll never be to me

anything less than perfect.
