The Face of Love

not imagined in clouds nor
sunsets washed with heavenly glow
nor in a wish or dreams -
not mountain shadows or
reflections in a still pond.
it is not born of anger
slashing from a deadly storm
nor vengeance with a fist to strike
or regrets that follow though
some may claim they might -
no favorites shown the easy path
to salvation ... because they that try
will find their way - must find their way
          on their own

there is no God-like visage of its own
because it is seen in the face
of every being born - the innocence 
of every baby creature
in their eyes and their peace
before one sin is etched or
one evil or worry worn;
there are no secrets and only one truth
which must be found within
the Holy Spirit of "Pure Love".

Amen. You're right only the person can find the direction to the correct path to be redeemed in God's grace. Being led can help , but you have to experience the Holy Spirit to accept . Great write with words of wisdom.
