Speaking Through the Opening: Allowing Your Life to Be Your Poem, by Eric Ashford

Love keeps moving its secret around
forming mirages out of the unseen.

Every portrait of Love
has this blemish of perception in it.

Imagination stumbles
before the threshold of Loves Reality

but when the intellect goes blind
Love becomes our eyes.

We are shown again
what light there is

in those dark places
where we have hid ourselves.

We become the secret of Love
as it moves through the mirage of the seen.
