(248) Works Of Love IV
Love Seeks Not Its Own
Charity Seeketh Not Her Own. (I Corinthians 13: 5)
Love seeks not its own
Love wants no possession
Love leaves mine and yours alone
Love serves as no obsession
Love is not justice
Love makes not distinctions
Love does not division practice
Love's not an institution
Justice has a purpose
To maintain separations
To possession it does service
And punishes deviations
But in a terrible misfortune
And all this is full disturbed
It cannot maintain distinction
And out of balance is unnerved
What a terrifying spectacle!
This surfeit of confusion
In this way love's remarkable
And superbly life-infusing
Love is a revolution
Profound and most blessed
Life-giving in it's profusion
Mine and yours has simply ended
In the intensity of love's sacredness
Mine and yours becomes dissolved
In some supreme soulfullness
Alienation is resolved
