but of listening into the times we have been given.
We have scrambled for truth between the lines
and those who have aged through selfless acts of kindness
are hidden in the cracks of the world.
It is all in the eyes, he said.
The eyes we have dared to face with our eyes,
until we know what it is to be seen.
Seen with the fire that blazed the suns into being
and the love that causes knees to fold
and the power that causes rocks to weep
and we have felt the tears well up from
within the places no words are spoken
and the spirit has a voice most clear
and all of the things that have fallen down
or away, pale before these ruptures of light,
because we are made from such love, to be loved.
Yes, we are made from such love, to be love.

Wow. You've packed strong truth and much wisdom into one poem! "Amen" to listening into the times we have been given. Contemplative living offers treasure for those who seek. And how beautifully you've captured the mystical impact of Jesus upon our souls, causing our knees to fold and tears to well up from within the places no words are spoken. LOVE that! Last, we are indeed made from love to be loved, and to be love. Delightfully expressed. You've ministered uplift and joy to me this afternoon, Jenneth!
