I burn with a flame that could not be put out by water or air or earth or any and all of the elements combined
It will burn and not subside by every ticking on the grandfather and every blinking of your eye.
But there is for one brief moment when all is not consumed - my hand in yours and your lips gently pressed against mine, And in that singular moment, as though all the waters of the deep were let out the flames burn no more - or maybe they do and I am not aware because we are engulfed in it, consumed by it, consecrated to it - because that great flame is love and can love (from God) do anyone harm?
