The Song of Songs is a poem in which love is sought, awaited, sung through the body, the voice, desire, the joy of encounter and the wound of absence. Desire, attraction, ardor are the substance of a deep fidelity, of a relationship that does not consume the other but calls them, seeks them, guards them. Love passes through the flesh, but is not exhausted by it; it opens to a greater promise and lets us glimpse the mystery of God.
