the edge of love

We've only just arrived at the love we long for:
true desire;
to belong to our beloved;
to adore and be adored;
to be known and know;
to be found and set free.
we think we're at the end
instead of a horizon,
great unexplored lands beyond our reach
our eyes blur short
just as first explorers would only sail
to a line at the bottom of the sky,
a round world beyond imagination.
