Ardent Lover

Remaining in the all-penetrating Eye
or taking flight from Omniscient Might?! -
(swirl of toil laborious... fruitless... external
parting company from glimpse eternal?!)

Bearing the all-permeating Glance
gazing at Might - the Blazing Heart
ardently gazing at worldlings' culpable plight
(or breaking away from victorious sway - the vertical flight?!)

Is not the path to splendor of saintliness
Paved by instants spent in Omniscient Mightiness?
Enduring the all-permeating Gaze?
Bearing Light radiant, not trackless, impassable maze...

Is not He Gift Supreme and Reward?
Is not Sacrificial Lamb His name?
Can sacrificial spirit take notice of itself?
Take the line of least resistance?
Reward for service and solemn assistance?

Mighty is He whose renown is Love
Encountered more in relinquishing all...
Than taking delivery of all...
Dying to self for Love undying
To be Love's undying possession
Inherit all in the Undying Possessor
Taking off glove...
To touch the Wing of resplendent Dove...

THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB; OUR GIFT SUPREME- NO GREATER LOVE...

and no better love poem for Our Lord. Very beautifully done, and just in time for His Birthday! Our wish is for every person on earth to experience a share in His ARDENT Love. Thank yiou for this poetic gift.
