I love love best

I love love best                                                                              
 
Gratitude roams the ruins of my heart –
the scales have tipped In Your favor.
 
I’ve an urge to run through the streets
shouting Your name. 
 
Instead, I kneel and slowly burn.
Dawn bears the same fire on the eastern mullions.
 
It’s not so much that You love me
but that You give me love to give . . .
 
more and more, more and more
and still yet more.
 
I know nothing of worthiness, except
it has everything and nothing to do with love!
 
O reader!  What might we discuss
that you and I don’t already know?
 
Like the elephant in the dark –
everything is true at once!
 
I love love best as a fire in the chest – silently longing
for the whole house to become ash and cinder.
         
O child of God, what is there to say?
You are bewildered – inside and out.
