Love’s Obeisance
If for some the first,
To that Fiery Love unfathomable,
To that desire unquenchable
To that terrible ‘I thirst’,
Once said upon the cross.
A Love that strews galaxies
As if diamonds at our feet
And will not take no for an answer
Yet must leave us frees
Would seek us with the kiss of
Peace
To become ‘one of us’…
Cost what it may;
Cost what it did;
For what else is Incarnation
But embedded Love in humanity,
Yet so lightly hold it we.
