What is Love?


To love is to give—
to give yourself,
your heart
a door flung wide

    to give another
    power over you
    to wound
    . . . or to heal


If God is Love,
then think of
the power He gave us
over Himself,

    how He gave Himself
    so fully to us,
    Wounded for
    our healing

    to love is to give. . .

  1. Love is
    that finest mysticism
    Obediance to
    that highest One

    Love is
    that strongest magic
    from which beauty wells
    And no tongue fully tells

    SPIRIT Unnameable
    Blessings that the greatest
    Unknown is Love
    Love, then is the greatest

    Will we ever fully
    know Love?
    The Unnameable has name
    YESHUA

    to love is to surrender
    Put your face in
    that Lion's mane
    He roared His name

    1. Yes... Yes! Did you write this today, or is it something you wrote previously? I really like the depth and the cadence of this piece.

      "Love is
      that strongest magic
      from which beauty wells
      And no tongue fully tells..."

      Gold. Solid gold.
