A Slice of Light

at times I love walking alone
into the light—
when alone is not lonely
and the heart is full of love.

we are all born with hunger,
the hunger to get something;
but ... love alone can complete us
only loving can put out the hunger.

the love ... that wants nothing—
nothing from you, nothing from the self.
the love that goes beyond feeling,
the love that’s a state of being.

no ... there is no need for you
to walk with me;
but maybe you will ...
my heart is always open ... for you!

I’ll always let you in;
I’ll always let you
walk with me ...
into the slice of light.
