What It Is

is a giving, a direction,
            a relation to God,
a movement within the eternal.
           At His core is what we fail
to be, to do, to know.
            And so

we love to show
            what we are not
and what He is:
            relationship, community,
righteous love, perfected from
            the start,

ever true, what light years, aeons
            can’t produce
within our hearts
            of their accord:
love in the making, in creation,
            lived and breathed

            in us.
