Love’s Where You Stand*

Out of the darkness
Out of the dust
Over the river
There came a voice:
Love whom you love
Do what you must
Live, be a Giver
Go make your choice.
Love with your life
Love with your deeds
Love when it’s hard,
With eyes open wide.
When your heart breaks,
Love without need
Pick up the shards,
Toss them aside.
Walk the dark road
That leads to one place
Walk it alone, go
With empty hands
And know this well:
Beyond time and space,
Beyond flesh and bone
Love’s where you stand
