(134-135) Works of Love
Love is the fulfilling of the law
Endurance in Time Space and the Mundane
Love's inwardness must persist
In spite of any obstacles
All other forces it must resist
Sometimes that may seem a miracle
It must pass through water and not drown
Through empty space and not suffocate
When its forced up, it must move down
When made heavy, it must levitate
We know the inwardness of eternity
But the world is very heavy
It brings us to its busy certainty
That naught in life is steady
Time will always make our life drag
Swamped and smothered with the mundane
Love's inspiration to others can look quite mad
When it's the only way we're sane
Even to our bed of death
Last moment of self-renunciation
We will stand up to that test
Although it comes in trepidation
No matter how we are exhausted
We will hold our love upright
By life's distractions we've been accosted
Still not let the mundane blur our sight
To struggle with that grip of time
We wait in faith for connectedness
Perhaps in love we find a strength divine
As we strive for our love's blessedness
