what it means

it's just like this
if you knew who she was
you would go flat
flat
flat on the ground

it means that love alone
is your anchor

and when they revile you
and persecute you
and say all manner of ill
against you for it's sake
your smile naturally grows

for one time
you are in the zone
the shadowlands
the in-between world
of certainty
where all of your conceits
are laid bare

and you become a thing
that is not flesh
that is not reason
or excuse
is just love
or not
but is certain
you become certainty

and it finally
stops looking like
the cause of goodness
has anything at all to do
with your volition
broken free
and dancing in the cold cold water

and you see that
every test
was laid specially at your feet
by your own heart
to remind you that
whatever else you ever were
or will be

you are all of the love
in every place
in every time
forever
