The Infinite Waltz: Embracing Life's Paradox #715

The Infinite Waltz: Embracing Life's Paradox In the realm where life's dawn and twilight meet, We stand as universes, each a secret complete. Not lone souls adrift in time's vast sea, But worlds within worlds, bound yet free. Life whispers its presence, death its parting sigh, In their dance, a truth neither can deny. A tapestry woven with threads of joy and sorrow, Teaching us the value of today, not just tomorrow. The sudden silence, a heart's final beat, Reminds us of life's fragility, bitter and sweet. Yet in this end, a beginning anew, A liberation from fear, a perspective true. For in the heart where love's light resides, Fear finds no harbor, no place to hide. "Perfect love casts out fear," so the ancient voices say, Guiding us to live fully, in each moment, come what may. Beyond the shadow of death, a soul's light shines clear, Reminding us to embrace life, without fear. For those who kill the body cannot touch the soul's gleam, We are more, much more, than what we seem. In faith's embrace, we find our release, From fear, from death, in Christ, we find peace. A call to live with love as our guide, To face the unknown, with hearts open wide. So let us dance this eternal dance, With love and liberation, take our stance. For in this journey of life, with all its twists and bends, We find our truth: love's power never ends. Written by Steven G. Lee (March 29, 2024)
