I do not love you

I do not love you as stars and moon
nor do I love you as earth and sun
for they separate each day and night
I love you as flower and fragrance
for you never leave me when you go
I live as long as you are in my being
and wither and die along with you
I love you as the sun and its light
where an eclipse can only hide it
but never separate the two of them
I love you as the moon and moonlight
which shines as bright as the moon
and vanishes when there is new moon

I do not love you as light and dark
nor do I love you as fire and wood
for they consume each other to die
I love you as the water and earth
which nourishes it makes it green
I live then through the pastures
and transform myself in your being
I love you as the drop and the sea
which merges in you without a trace
there is no I, just presence of we
I love you as the river and ocean
which roars, celebrates on meeting
and looses itself to be a single being
