No boundaries

Garnet Bruce Coburn

The mountains
are a line between
earth and sky,
but there is no division
in Love
for Love knows no boundaries
not even death.

The sea slices
straight
at the green base
of mountains,
but Love cannot
be cut off nor diminished
for Love knows no depletion;
it is as full as the sky.

Love is all-encompassing
and includes the mountains, sea, and sky
for Love knows only love,
and what is before
an infinite radius,
the center
that holds.
