Today I woke up in love

 Many a days I woke up awake 

Awake as awake could be 

As awake as anyone could be 

But today is different 

Today I woke up in love 

Realising a new depth of awakening

An explosion of love

Going to sleep yesterday

Love came to me and intrigued me to consider it

How would it be to give it a chance

Yesterday I was convinced 

Of my lack of compassion towards my fellow beings 

My mind claiming my awakening 

And the intellectual pride thereof 

And a fear always lingering 

A sense of conflict and division springing from that 

But the mind not knowing there's a whole new world inside 

Calling one to submerge into it 

And I see in full clarity 

That opposite of fear is not lack of it

But a presence of love, a loving presence 

For all that is, for oneself 

Love is how the fear is vanquished  

Something of immense significance happened here 

And I am here as a witness 

Delightfully surprised
