Spoken for

Spoken for                                                                                        
 
Love, You say, asks no questions. 
My heart’s not yet speechless
 
but, my mind’s onto the truth
that all questions lose their validity
 
this side of the veil. To ask is to break
the silent bond. It’s not about believing
 
or not believing, but about love . . .
or, not loving and the longing
 
that’s always there
and the despair that inhabits
 
every laugh and stride and smile,
every social nuance, as we bide our time,
 
do what we must, granting solace,
here and there, to ourselves and the world
 
far from the Avatar and the key. 
Though, we are lost, we are in His hands,
 
and that is all the difference . . .
and that is all the difference.
 
O child of God, why keep speaking? 
You are already spoken for.
