why fear this moment…

 
why fear this moment
 when no thoughts come
 at last I lie naked
 in the arms of experience

why fear this moment
when no words come
at last I find rest
in the lap of silence

 why fear this moment
 when love finds itself alone
 at last I am embraced
 by infinity itself

why fear this moment
when judgment falls away
at last my defenses
fail to keep intimacy at bay

 why fear this moment
 when hope is lost
 at last my foolish dreams
 are surrendered to perfection
