BEYOND MEASURE AT THE CENTER
It ’ s funny We ’ d had an argument , Not an argument , Really , Just a disagreement Over nothing
And due to the wisdom Of our union , After all these years , We let it go Because it ’ s not worth it , You said , and I agreed , Smiling , I love you Beyond measure
I liked that phrase A poem In itself
Beyond Measure
My love Transcends my human ability The means of civilization To gauge , assess , quantify , Calculate
Like the Buddha Breathing in the universe And exhaling The now
Like the number of times The world still has To go around
Our love is Beyond measure
Where the village is an eyepiece On the world And the heart surveys the Universe Where the couple turns their backs On the night And feels the light In each other ’ s arms
Where the brave accomplishment Is finding And facing The truth in our hearts And our lives
Where we can ’ t give enough And we take too much To make the stars In our souls Align We can ’ t earn Time
With the holy men Scrutinizing blueprints And the bird Gathering twigs For its nest
Neither the mountain , nor the sun , Nor hurricane , nor blossom , not the Queen , nor the King No one and no thing Knows best
Where the village is an eyepiece On the world And the heart surveys the Universe Where the couple turns their backs On the night And finds the light In each other ’ s arms
