Love is...

Accept yourself
as you really are,
drop
dedication to delusions
of mediocrity
that range from self-dissatisfaction to self-hatred
all
lack of forgiveness
is self-betrayal
you are not unworthy
yet
dip deep into those dark
shadows of unbearable pain
submerge
false failings
such burden
mere illusion
in spite of material validity,
ego as hypnotic trance,
obstacle
to self-realization,
for you are unknowable
mystery unto yourself
vast
& undefinable
transbiological being
silent
presence of pure consciousness
free yourself, let go
rest—
your search
is to be
steadfast in Self Love
pure joy
