The One

You

me

summer sky

a million stars

Teenage chemistry beaker

boiling to our first kiss:

explosion!

I see stars, galaxies

the entire universe

in your eyes

the backdrop

 lake and fireworks sky.

I see God

in you.

No one else

no one thing

has ever been so powerful.

The years of pleasure

joy-laced pain

long estrangements

therapy

Nothing can erase

your mark.

Past middle-age

I see at last

it was God
All That Is
Oneness

cosmic unity

I fell in love with

I see now

why I never
completely

got over you.

Thank God.
