Consubstantiation: A poem 

Where does a beginning begin, if it is self-consolatory 

to pick up a piece in the middle and be lost in the impression 

that it is the beginning! If you can rally around the underscored  

fact that truth must have had a beginning itself… Or could it have  

zeroed in, becoming itself without a beginning, evolving out of  

a chasm of its own evolution? An existence that cannot be held in skepticism? 

And where does love begin, then? Did it stream out over a fence 

of self and become a smudged boundary between two or more? 

How does one propitiate with love, if one begins to acknowledge 

that it was an existence before its discovery; that a soul longs for and finds?

That, there is no need for exploration – that it exists and beckons as predestiny, 

only appearing as accidents or coincidents? And is love actually unephemeral? 

Its truth being unshakeable if it is honest; its eternity sustaining in its infiniteness;  

and its unconditionality resonating in its selflessness? Can there be dishonesty in love to  

actually, sustain love’s honest survival (as I have often seen)? 

I have seldom thought that truth and love may be two faces of the same coin? 

Should I contemplate and meditate on that state to obtain a miracle key to destiny? 

You know I dreamt that my aspiration became a consubstantion in you, and me! 

How radically illuminative can that be? How glorifyingly optimistic? 

And then I woke up and found my aloneness…In a poem of the previous day 

I had sadly espoused that time is fleet and running out? Is love really an ephemerality  

within circumstance; existing like explosive bolts in lifetimes? I shudder to think… 

Or have I begun to be Don Quixote again, daydreaming again….?
