(261-262) Works of Love V

Love Hides the Multiplicity of Sins

 

Love and Confidence

 

All love and temporality

Exist in their three times

A wondrous and true totality

They are both part of the divine

What love does it also is

And what it is it does

It all plays out just like this

But what we are scarcely conscious of

 

Love goes beyond itself

That's in an outward direction

And still it's somewhere else

Love's inward in meditation

In and out are simultaneous

They are one and the same

Nothing there is extraneous

Love happens in God's name

 

Thus love will make for confidence

For love casts out all fear

This is no coincidence

Love lightens life's atmosphere

The domineering are oppressive

Fear's domination's tool

Endlessly we feel depressive

The heavy pressure's cruel

 

Love serves as our salvation

When tied to the middle term

Simultaneous in its action

Beloved and lover arrive in turn
