Love Is Everything

No matter where you are
you are with Him for ever;
no matter how far you travel
it is His distance – all matter
and spirit, the substance of
His being. 

No matter how fast you run,
it is His pace and tracks;
no matter how quiet your mind,
he hears the stirrings within
our silence, those soundless
articulations, before the words,
our preludes to delineation – 

No matter how deeply or shallowly
we breathe...He knows our limitless
capacity~nurturing, healing,
awakening us to live fully and outright
the sum of all His passions realized,
purified and exalted to their highest
forms of manifest-expression –  

After all will be said and done, Love is everything....

You make a great case for love, but the New Testament says light and Love both. Unless we switch to Chesed, Hebrew fir that all- encompassing GRACE: GODS Richest At Christ's Expense. But i quibble. Kudos, for a powerful poem

your first sentences is on target. Just Humans mean "love as prefer, like, lust, crave in carnal ways," too. Bible has this LIGHT-LOVE-Forgiveness aspect of God to emphasize AGAPE love. "I love God" and "I love chicken - cooked," are not the same LOVE. That's my point Father DeMino: how to tell folk what they mean by "love" is less than how GOD LOVES (??) shalom shalom. Thanx for everything u say and do on PS

With man, it is here/there, up/down, in/out -- with God it is all things places at all times -- Light/Love to God are indivisible.... To me, Love is God, Light is God, Grace is God -- to know one is to know and experience them all. I cannot not even look at evil, and not yet see God suffering (beneath our surface delusion) inside to get out (truth manifest) and reveal Himself. Love is what is beneath the distortion (core substance) of all our visions. There is nothing but God. And God is Love.
