The Infinitude

The Infinitude

...of love and being...

There's just enough of me
and just enough of you
to go around even though
we alone are not infinite.

Some days I cannot tell
whether my glass
is truly half-full,
or maybe half-empty.

I wonder:

Am I pouring my life
into the infinite?

Or is the infinite
pouring into me?

I woke last night
frightened by the dark,
in which the infinite seemed
to be staring right at me.

When I woke again
morning had come,
and the darkness lifted
to reveal my finite world.

not by mechanical aid,
but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.
~ Henry David Thoreau

No finite point has meaning
without an infinite reference point.
~ Jean-Paul Sartre

If a thing loves,
it is infinite.
