You were once one

The crystal falls from heaven

shattering into a thousand pieces

its light scatters throughout the universe.

Your eyes, shatter like the raindrops

upon my bruised skin

you are like a thousand lights.

Entities taking shape

pulling in the fabric of all form

expanding and shrinking

changing and becoming still.

We took shape long ago,

you and I

expanding and shrinking

changing, and becoming still.

All creation knows its own name

it served upon itself

we become distinct

but intrinsically one whole.

In all creation

I would know your name

not distinct from my own,

intrinsically we are whole.

There is no place

the world exists

without itself;

to exist, it must be what it is.

There is no place

that I exist

without you;

to exist, we must be what we are to each other.

The crystal falls from heaven

shattering into a thousand pieces

though pieces remain for now, together and alone

I know who you are.

I will always be with you

the unity of all existence lies within our love.
