Context. noun
The parameters that constrain meaning.
From pain i asked myself bewildered
What will be my context?
How will i choose to have these things occur (to me?
How will i ever hold something that is boundless?
Besieged i did beseech:
What is my context?
How can i ever hold someone who is boundless?
Why couldn’t i continue holding her?"
Devastated i did search
What was my context?
Why did she abandon me?
How did I occur to her?
Wounded i did wonder
Who was i being for me,
that i couldn’t be Me for Her?
Who am i now without her?"
From wonder You answered clear: I Am Boundless:You
Being Boundless:You, how will You choose for Thee?
How can Thee hold everything safe and still within?
Ahhh…
Breathe in…
I and Thee, Thee and Me are One
Breathe out..
Breathe in…
God and Me, Me and God are One
Breathe out…
Mmmm…
Now in wonder having come together
Here and there duality transcended
Forever merged in lives and loves
where nothing is ever lost
and nothing ever ended
Consummate beyond memory and word
Who are We to walk our world?
