Love Letter 173 I Love You

I do not die in you
but born again
I relinquish my own ideal of rapture
so what rapture is
can arrive

what have I done with this old song
but taken a new ax to own it
and it has served me
by letting me hack away
at what I thought was lost
and covering what I needed
it has let me
give it up
and drag it back
wrap and unwrap it
own and disown it
it has given and forgiven a whole host of selves I have betrayed it with
and let me know
in no uncertain terms
that it will continue
to bend in any direction I will it
but it will not
let me
destroy
its Love.

This is good news.

I Love You
Your Beloved
