I Would Cease To Be

I WOULD CEASE TO BE

 

God

dissolved

my mind – my separation.

I cannot describe my intimacy with Him.

How dependent is your body’s life on water and food and air?

I said to God, ‘ I will always be unless you cease to Be,’

And my Beloved replied, ‘And I

would cease to Be

if you

died.’
