Truth and Love

Contrary to modern palates, 
truth does not come in preferred
flavors…
               nor does truthful meaning
morph into something more suitable 
to any particular taste – truth is truth, 

as time is time, when squandered,
a fool’s passage….

               Love, alone, is
truth’s equal; Love, the only
journey worth taking...as no
truth can be found outside of
love – 

      we love things into
perfection, 

and live that pulsing light 
of pure spirit

or die an eternity of fruitless
seeking….

Death is not God’s chosen
intervention...

It is the manifest lie 
of our own abdication –
