Sitting Side By Side

You are beside me. I am beside you.
None else is seen around, besides us two.
Cessation, by ceaselessness, is erased.
Unknowingly, are our hearts now replaced?

These streams of fresh water that flow around
These song-filled swaying reeds that make no sound
These tiny lovebirds that chirp our murmurs
Aren't these springtime nature's play performers?

As rains soothe the earth with love, let's be soothed.
Ups and downs of our hearts' cores are smoothed.
Ships in our seas of bliss make merry trips
Should even by slip kisses slip the lips?

We've got more to give; why should we give less?
Should, when filled with love, souls feel any stress?
Drinking from the wells of God-consciousness
Shouldn't our souls be raised to Blessedness?

Perfect ending. Alas we do not recognise the meanings of love.

Creative lines penned. Our souls cannot be raised to Godliness when we are drinking from our own wells. We have to drink from the fountain of the Spirit of Jesus by inviting Him to come in and fill us. Thanks for sharing. Sara K
