wanting to know all
i overlooked each particle
containing the whole
intent on one great love, perfect,
requited and forever,
i missed love everywhere
lifelong i have been reading
book after book, searching
for wisdom, but through
my own limited understanding
forgive me, forgiver,
whether you be infinite, omniscient
or some unnoticed other,
my existence has hurt
being what i am
what could i do but wrong?
yet love can bring
to heart healing
to chaos meaning
