(174-181) Works Of Love

 

Our Duty To Be In The Debt Of Love

 

Love Has No Comparison

 

Love is an infinitude

Embodies the middle term

So it is an act of ineptitude

To make comparison our concern

We violate the very essence

Of love and its endless debt

Love withdraws its presence

To compare is to forget

 

The infinite is immeasurable

That's beyond all calculation

To the mundane mind it's incredible

But that's why love has its fascination

Comparison is calculation

Do we count love on our few fingers?

Counting love is its condemnation

Check the bill and love can't linger

 

Love to be free must be open

All else is degradation

When the thought of love is spoken

It must be in celebration

Love is never a seduction

For it's always something sacred

Of God at its inception

At the heart of all created

 

The middle term makes our love possible

For love exceeds our few dimensions

The infinite makes us deeply responsible

To exceed the limit of our intentions
