What is love?

And please don’t say “baby don’t hurt me”

Let’s just not go there

Do you have it? Do you not?

Is it earned? Is it taught?

If I had it would I know it?

If you have it, would you show it?

These are the questions on society’s mind

Looking for love to be defined

They ask “is it something I will ever find”

Love

The Big L word.

It has become misused

Thrown in the dirt, abused

Love is the new like

I love that shirt

I love that show!

I loved grilled cheese

Please! No!

Let’s get this definition back

Back track

To the beginning

The story that’s told. Told but it seems like it’s only told by the bold. Are you bold?

Anyway back to the story

the beginning only God in all his glory

he didn’t need to he wanted to

wanted to create you

he breathed a life into the dust

he pulled another from a rib

but in the end a bond of trust

was torn apart by the devil’s fib.

Don’t be fooled you would have done the same,

Traded truth for guilt and shame.

So what do we do about it?

Others will tell you it is through good deeds

But let me tell their words are like weeds

A plant but not beautiful

Religion not relationship

Cause no matter what you do

Just one mistake and you are through

Let me ask a question of you

Would you eat a sandwich if it had just the tiniest speck of dog doo?

No, it’s ruined, and so are you

If not for one man

You know who I’m talkin bout

You’ve heard the story a thousand times

How God-as-man paid for all your crimes

The thought of Christ on Earth had always given us hope though

Every other self-proclaimed savior had only been so-so

Not good enough, or trippin all over stuff

Coming out of their mouths that was too rough

To be from the mouth of a messiah

But this was anything but a liah

He was higha than you

He was greater than I

And he chose to live a man’s life

He chose to be just like

Us

Why?

A caution wasn’t heeded

I did it myself I was not cheated

The disease of sin was seeded

into my heart and a payment was needed

and so he came down among us

the beginning a babe is born

a life lived with no stains worn

on his head was put a crown of thorn

put on a cross his body so torn

A perfect lamb without flaw

As the fists landed upon his jaw

The only one that he saw

Was you

He was thinking of you

A mother’s wailing as she mourned for her dead son

but three days later he said I’m back and I HAVE WON!!!

What is love?

Listen closely if you get anything out of these words it’s this

through his inception perfection rejection and resurrection

I can take part in a glorious collection

Of a gift he has offered to us all

You know it’s time for celebration!

Cause there ain’t no condemnation

A fallen creation given an invitation to a new destination

That’s right,

Salvation

Life lessons.

I heard that song today

“what if God was one of us”

Can we just realize he was,

and he did it perfectly for the rest of us!

Instead of asking

“what of if God was one of us”

we need to be asking

“what if We were One in Him”

how it was meant to be.

Here is a challenge for you all.

The island

Where time

Never was.

It never got to be.

Untouched by urgency

Unmarked by rush

Butterflies are suspended in midair

And wolves howl at the skies forever.

Trees sway one direction and never sway back

Clocks are all shattered here

Decorations to show what never was

And never will be

The rainbows never fade here

The morning dew never dries

The sunset never turns dark

For you follow the sun to see the daylight

And walk away from it when you want to look at the starry night

Everything is silent

Not an eerie silence

But a silence that let’s you hear nothing

And in that, everything

But I can still make a sound

whatever you wish

I will play for you

you will hear the first sounds you have ever really heard.

-Leo

Maybe, just maybe,

things will go my way,

I’ll keep hope alive

as I sit and I pray

But really I’d rather things follow God’s plan

Cause I’d rather see his than those of man

Together we fabricate something amazing

but the greatest part is that its always changing

This sculpture that is more than art from what I can see

I realize what were molding is…Me

-Leo

I am a lunar eclipse

you must accept whatever you see,

but stick around and you’ll see the entire me

I will shine and show you part of who I am

but don’t leave, because I am much more

I want to wait and share with you

moments that I don’t give to just anyone

Halfway point, you see the value in me,

for I shed light on your landscape

and you discover things about yourself from me

You see my innermost features

the craters and shades of color across my heart

You have to wait patiently

as I have to be patient in showing you

But I am not the only moon in the sky

because all the while you were watching me

I was waiting  too, because I was watching

Your Eclipse

-Leo
