None Suffice

He holds out his hands unto me to lead me into the secrets of his love. I hold on unto his arms and feel the warmth of his love. Still all is darkness only faith lights the dim night My soul in a thousand struggles soars to the heights. Darker and colder grows the night strange and incomprehensible forms obstruct my flight. I seek to understand. I look around... and find myself in bleak aloneness. I shudder and moan reach out to the stars They are too far. Their distance swallows up their light, they thaw not the coldness and emptiness, I turn to the flowers of the meadows... stare at children's innocent eyes. Yes, beauty I can find but none suffice. Love's pain is sharp, intense and consuming. Who can bear it? I do not seek to understand this cross... ask not to be relieved of its pain and agonies. My only plea is for strength to bear it. He says: "Believe in us." I do! My soul is parched. Yet I must love on in the dark till I be lost in the infinite furnace of this new love and burn on unto its delight.
