it is love..

For this what we do.
Put one foot forward then the other.
Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more.
Add our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night.
Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day.
With love.
The passionate search for a truth other than our own.
With longing the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved.
For so long..
As fate keeps waiting. .
we live on..


and in love..
