The wings of love

"Love one another as I have loved you" - John 15:12
Today, I sing a love song
It is a love song of two doves
Flying over me and my wife
as I walked along the path of life.
The doves spread their wings
pure whiteness in splendor and beauty
hovering over us, spreading peace
assuring freedom and new hope.
The dove looks with eyes of love
their hearts waiting and longing
their feet steady in the air
their heads upward and proud.
Then we heard the echo
of the doves' love song
"here am I, my beloved said one
ready to die for you," and the other said,
me too am ready to die for you!"
Martyrdom is love's highest goal
there is a lot to it
than simply letting go
it is just being pure nothingness!
The doves' love song is also ours
and maybe yours too,
if only we all can see through
the golden thread of love
out of the embers of our brokenness.
Love is alive and well
in the depths of our being
nothing and no one can stop
that wellsprings of eternal love!
