Half Lovers

Find beauty
in winter as in summer.
Seek the teachings
In all circumstances.
 
In sickness and in health,
Yeah, like those wedding vows.
There is no judgment
in true unconditional love.

Acceptance of the totality.
Break the walls of the ego
that separate us.
Real lovers open both arms.

It will not be easy;
we have been programmed
towards separation
and not integration.

Love is appreciation.
for what it is.
To love the rose with its thorns.
Let's stop being half lovers.
