LOVE HAS ITS FINAL CONFIRMATION IN THE FLESH

confirmation flesh

Love has its final confirmation in the flesh, whether it be in
the bond between children and parents, husbands and
wives, or strangers.

Even religious love reaches its most natural verification in
the physical.  No one could love a God who was not also
manifested as man.

The final union of each being is in the pulsing heart.

I LET THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT PASS

Par Moment

I let that particular moment pass,
but I can recall it.
I can bring it back
for a spell.
I wish that I
could live it over
again,
in the full—
with what I know now.
I wish that I could grace it
with more love,
contribute more to it,
milk it for all of its beauty,
its setting,
its circumstance.
