Two Poems About Love

Holy Love

When you look at me
My foolish pride melts away
For the difference
Of whom I am
And who you see in me
Is so great that I can hardly breath

Then I see
That in your eyes
Compassion reigns supreme
There shines from all you are, a love that covers even me.

Sometimes... I live by you unaware as by the beating of my heart,
Suddenly you flare in my sight, a wild rose blooming at the edge of a thicket...
And once again I am blessed, choosing again what I chose before

--Wendell Berry
