In truth, I wanted love for life. Accepting love's answer slowly became my quest of life. Then, within the mystical light of dawn's reeling past, down through the chambers of truth came a great, whispering voice, and love spoke . . .

"LOVE'S CREED"

As love, I shall travel with you within all our days, and you shall never rest that intangible quest to touch my inner soul.

I shall drive you in search to your earthly end, and you shall, it's known, find not perfection in your way.

I shall find that force within you to give all, and you shall see humbly within me to possess not, yet only to be a reflection of giving.

I shall send you life's loneliness as your companion, for I shall never provide time as possession for your own.

I shall see your deepest roots watered by the bitterest of hurt, and so be it, your choice, in free will, to grow or wither.

I shall cause your soul to cry out in the midst of mankind's strife, and you shall hear my needs unanswered, as endless echoes of inequity.

I shall once in a great while mask myself as a prophet upon your path, and you shall rest in a moment of solitude, while I stir your sleeping soul to urgent restoration, creating for you a departure without fear.

For I am a quest of the truth, a creation within the infinite, and only shall my creator find you worthy by the price of pain, as the wall of the ego falls, so shall you hear my voice within the depth of your own soul.

For this is known in the heavens, that discipline in truth and love creates freedom, the spiritual water, for the growth of all mankind.

As love, I say unto you, live your life with an incessant desire, to serve thy God, through his people, within his creations, for when thy earthly days have ended, you shall quest no more, for I shall be your soul complete as embraced within the warm caressing light of God's imperishable peace. For you were created to rest within the heart of God.
