At the Root
At the root of it all is love, my heart!
Burrow through bone marrow,
behind the eyes, beyond the mind
and the furnaces of beginnings
to magnetic cores, quintessences
of worlds without and within
each eternal instant-now:
- genomes and galactic rims,
and there it still is, homely and intimate
closer than the jugular,
an endlessly brimming well-spring
of comforting presence and sapience;
something ineffably knowing, personal
resident in every breath and living thing.
