DISCERNMENT

I was trying to discern
If it was infatuation or love
I was trying to discern
If you could love me for what I was
Even after I was stripped of all the facades
And the flaws were all there bare and clear

I wasn't looking for physical love
I was looking for a higher connection
Between not just two minds, not even just two hearts
But between two souls and two spirits
A connection that transcends all earthly bounds
Is it possible to have such love while we're here in the flesh and blood
Or do we have to be returned to dust
And our souls are released back to the heavens
Before we are able to comprehend such love.

Well...whatever it is...love fiercely as best as we can, is still the Operative word while we're of this earth.
