My Love is Empty
By Kevin K. Winters
My love for you is empty
So that it may contain the whole cosmos
And that through it
You may see the abundance of life.
My love for you is impermanent
So that it may grow more and more
Through compassionate service
And genuine openness.
My love for you is non-dual,
For it is not “mine”,
Not “yours”, as if it were a mere possession,
But a manifestation of our self-less devotion.
My love for you is non-grasping,
For to grip you too tightly
Or to mold you into an idol/ideal
Is to do both of us violence and harm.
My love for you is non-love:
Composed of the cosmos,
Watered by blessed causes and conditions,
And therefore is authentic love.
