Love Collapses

By Katherine Norland
Three-dimensional, synthetic DNA-like crystals
Three-dimensional, synthetic DNA-like crystals. . . . . . .
Love
Where does it begin
And where does it end?

Love
Is an extension
Of oneself

Where you don’t know
Where you end
And the other begins

Where there is
No them and no me
No them over there
And me over here

With love
There is no difference
Between them and me

We are all connected
All part of one
And the same

Love extends
Expands
Covers all
Unites all

When true love is present
It collapses the space between us
Consumes and connects

Others become
A natural extension
Of who you are

So much so
That you no longer see
A difference

So that when you look at another
You are looking at a mirror image
Reflection of yourself
