Love Is Here

By Catherine U. Albano

The Moment of Release

From being in control

To letting go of control.

Flow In Gentle Love

In the secret garden,

I find my resting place.

By the stream of water,

My weary soul has been refreshed.

A taste of goodness. A fresh outpouring.

AN OVERFLOW OF LOVE.

Deeply Rooted. Deeply Loved.

Like a tree stretching out its roots.

Where does it draw strength from?

Towards the flowing water,

Sustaining, not parched.

So much life-giving.

To be nourished, to be carried.

Love’s Garden of Delight

To come away...

To be the garden and Love’s delight.

To gaze upon the face of Love,

Who pours in life, quenches the thirst.

Just like that, Love settles in. I come alive!
