One place understood helps us understand all places better.

Lasting love, lasting

Out of the
patterned heart
do just so

Until stillness
breaks
upon you

And resolves in
the lightest touch

And whispers in
the quietest murmur

Yet carries
the solid evidence
that pivots you
in place

With just
space enough,
with just
love enough

To make a
turning
and join
with such
as makes
a lasting love,
lasting.
