Love interest
Existence You compare to
a motion picture
with God playing every
role.
You, of course, are the
love interest.
When Your face hits the
screen
every pulse quickens.
Let the storylines get too
sad, predictable
and You are thrown into
the mix,
to stir up the plot by
espousing
the most difficult task
in existence.
Love God, You say. Love God.
Again and again, You
enter the picture
to round out and soften
God’s rough edges, awaken
the human heart to
love. To love.
You make it easy -- so
that we might begin
our arduous approach to
God;
to love God, to become
God,
to become God the
Beloved.
O child of God,
impossible to love the self;
next to impossible to
love the Self.
