LOVE

Out of prayerful passion, these words came. For my lover and for you ...


Unconditional LOVE.
Even when I am in the acts of falling,
my beloved bids me, "Come away with me my love!"

When my heart turns to the foolishness of the world
and accepts and even longs for superficial self satisfaction
my beloved forgives and with longing eyes bids me, "Come away with me my love!"

What right have I to judge others,
to do anything except LOVE when I act just like them countless times.
I have no right, no debt to pay, but that of LOVE.

Like a child, I am faltering to grasp
what those simple four letters mean.
LOVE, unconditional LOVE, just beginning to learn.

Passion poured forth, not in self gratification
but in death, a death meant for me.
LOVE, unconditional LOVE, just beginning to learn.

Though I will fail and clouds will come to darken my way
He will strengthen me and raise me from the ashes, my best abilities.
Oh my beloved LOVE, consume me and fill me with all that is you.
