paradox

You are the greatest paradox
because you ask that i may lose my life
in order to gain Life.
You ask that i forget myself in loving other people
so that I may find myself better.
You ask that i forget my own happiness
so that i may gain true Happiness.
You teach me to love
not that i may love them with my whole being,
but to love them as if it's You who's loving them.

while everything is seemingly complex
You ask me to see things with simplicity
That this life,
You ask me to keep it simple,
but to keep it simple,
i'd have to accept
all complications of life with Love.

You accept my nothingness
so as to give complete meaning to my life.
So much so that my wholeness is empty
without You.
