Tình yêu bất tận Unending love

Unending love

I seem to have loved you
in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs
That you take as a gift,
wear round your neck in your many forms.

In life after life, in age after age, forever
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love
its age-old pain
Its ancient tale of being apart or together
As I stare on and on into the past
In the end you emerge

Clad in the light of a pole-star
piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of
what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.

We have played along side millions of lovers,
shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting,
the same distressful tears of farewell
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you

The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life
The memories of all loves merging
with this one love of ours
And the songs of every poet
past and forever.
