Love

Show me how to love

for I'm lost on the way.

tell me again,

that glorious word,

paint me a picture,

to take my breath away,

my heart in my mouth,

my soul so inspired.

please,

show me again,

for I think I forgot

in all that is flawed,

all that is failed,

in my disappointments,

and sadness

I've departed from the essence,

the transcendence,

the simplicity,

of learning to love.

For all I have,

all that is before,

all that is to come,

can only be anchored

by love.

Please show me how,

lest I forget it's glory and grace.
