(202-204) Works Of Love

Part Two I

Love Builds Up

"Do Everything For The Sake Of Building Up"

 

Love is the universal predication

It is what all of us can do

Love builds up our spiritual inclination

And exists for all, it's true

Love takes no independence

Be completely isolated

So what's built up is relevant

All life is implicated

 

It is not an expression we should use

But only when love is present

Then all of life is up building truth

Because love is everywhere evident

We can live inside a palace

And still we have no room

When our heart is out of balance

We fill our home with gloom

 

In all love is a building up

Without love all is empty noise

Vacuous knowledge o'er fills our cup

And worldliness at last annoys

Building up is a rarity

Love in it demanding

All is empty in prosperity

When love is not commanding

 

Love equates to the middle term

Thus building up is sacred

Making love is our first concern

All the rest is overstated
