Untitled

What greater love can be found?

Creator for his creation.
Seeing the beauty in every sunrise and equally in sunsets.
Seeing the pines rise above the surface of the earth stretching their arms out towards the divine.
Father for his children.
Hearing the laughter of a child dance across the summer's air.
Hearing the father's comforting song run as a cool river from soul to soul.
Lover for his lover.
Feeling the embrace continuously overwhelm the heart as the waves upon the shore.
Feeling the look in his eyes that explains more than a rush of words...like the silence of the morning sun.

Oh, what love arises from these combined in one. Creator, Father, Lover.

Layne, recently I have simply fallen for the notion that God loves me and wants a sacred romance with me (if you haven't already, read John Eldridge's SACRED ROMANCE. There is a link on my blog I think). Your poem states this so well. It is a mystical, wondrous thing, his love for us. God, Father, Lover, Friend. It is overwhelming, reassuring, terrifying, exhilarating, all at the same time!

Keep writing, its very good stuff.
