To be the rebel
for harmony
This is love
love is our inexaustable strength
love is the only work that we are here
to do
To love is to put an end to all the world’s loneliness;
and all one’s loneliness as well
To love is to consume
only that which is all ours to consume;
to have
only what is all ours to have
love is what makes all things sacred;
love is the fullness that needs own nothing
love is the passion that encompasses
all this world’s passions
with it’s compassion
love is every privilege that we forsake
love is the ground under our feet
love is all the sky above us
love is the blue encircling ocean
the deepest depth that is,
is that which is filled with love
love is every breath we take
love is every hope we hold
love is everything we make
every song we sing
love is present in each word we say
love is the only work
that we are here to do
love is the living
that is the dying
love is the truth that knows everthing it does
and knows everything it does not yet know
Love is the place you are
this place that you are meant to be
The time you take
before the time that all are taken
love is the place to be
love is the me that is you
love is the only work
we are all wanting here to do
