Love and Religion

The loving nature

of a romantic relationship

has the power to elevate

the human spirit

toward the divine.

Within a soul, seeded with

particles of every possibility,

the pure matter of love

assembles and intensifies

until the birth of unity.

My love,

I welcome your religion

with no doubt or concern,

because I know we both answer

to the same divine laws:

love, respect, and creation.
