The east is filled with starlight reaped
The earth, beneath its flare
Is like a groaning table heaped
With love’s unfailing Dare
Each breath we take is grace at large
Though free, its charge is great
Mortality is like a barge
Instilled with Deathless Freight
Where each new day is like a gift
Dawn like a breath-breadth lease
And only love/God can bridge the rift
Twixt misery and peace

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another,
God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:11-12
