It takes Love's Own Courage to Love as God Loves!
How is it Love can Know what lovers never think,
that hearts afraid to love are chained and bound, in prison?
The fear of seeing more in "other", (using selfish vision);
and losing "self" in "other's" life, one teeters on the brink!
We speak of love, as though we thought it were some "other" -
As if we came from "other-than", with no one as our Mother!
But only Love can touch & melt a fear far deeper still,
than any "self" could ever probe, (it has to do with Will!).
We choose, you see, to Love, or not - And what we see's our choice!
We mirror only what we choose, reflection's only voice
is Love or die - to Live is Love! And Life remains Alive;
and waits, and woos, to Choose again our lonely heart's rejoice!
An echo is as mirror does; and Love's the heart's remembreance,
of how it only knew it's Joy when Giving's Gift was Giving.
So ripples know from whence they sprang, as memories often glance;
the heart was made for ever-Loving, and Giving Love is Living!
O heart who loves not Giver's best, but grasps the self as "owner";
Give up this "loss" that loses all for "gain" that will not give!
No man's a garden-Giver, nor Planter's Garden's loner,
but humus-human; Love's receiver, your Father LOVE said, "LIVE"!
