Surrounded by infinite Love

Sky de Jersey

What does it really mean—
To be surrounded by Love?
Gently encompassed each moment
In every joy and every triumph,
In every crisis and tear
Eternally, perpetually,
Held in Love’s sweet embrace?

Metaphors abound, and they help:
A mother’s care, a father’s watchful eye.
The poetry of the ages tries to capture it,
But oh what a challenge it is
To express infinity in mere words.

To know, in the very core of your being,
That we, you and I,
Live and move, embraced by Love,
That there is no moment,
No instant where this is not true—
What a majestic, humbling fact!

Experiencing it is awe-inspiring
A massive exercise of trust and letting go,
Falling into the infinite embrace
And finding there is no fall at all.
Love is there, and has been all along
Supporting, guiding, and teaching
With the utmost care and tender grace.

—Sky de Jersey
