We Are Love

Absolute by absolute is given Mystery curtained by a spiral heaven And we mere dancers by the music driven Know not what in the debt forgiven Love begot love in its wholesome image Not in content but the substance of knowledge We worship the passion of the savage Denying truth through the carnal carnage Love is God, and love is of God, children Man is of God, and God in all men We are love, not feelings like the heathen We are more than mortal memory ken. Angels sang in heaven when he made us Pictures of himself from his sacred dust Then bequeathed us dominions affirmed by trust Placed us in time to temper us All that is seen is from the unseen made God's love bruised, battered, reduced, afraid Is a mental picture sin's illusion persuade Love is restored triumphant by love obeyed.
