I never knew that love was wise
or open eyes
or letting go an old disguise
I never knew I wore

I never knew that love meant more
than simply caring, sharing, or
bearing all to someone who
stares with love right back at you

I never knew this sunshine tingle
waking every single atom
in my body as I fathom
rising, glowing, wafting waves
of steaming life in lofting lays
of widened worlds beyond the few
I’ve ever known
And never knew
the ways I grew were slow until
you came along in song to spill
this crash of open-minded hope
and broken laws I must’ve wrote
and potent scope of widened will
and thrill of life and heightened stillness
filling me

I never knew till there was you
the sea of life but trickled through
the holes left in my wall

I used to think that love was love~
but now I see it’s All
