In Love With The Lord

A Prayer for Love

Love does not come from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity, and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created in years or even generations. The memory of you melts my heart and awakens by its sweetness all the energy of my spirit. I will make my soul an envelope for your soul and my heart, a residence for your beauty, and my breast a grave for your sorrow. I shall love you and live in you the life of a flower under the sun's rays. For you have planted in my heart a white rose that will always be. I will love you while I live, and I shall love you when I am dead. My soul shall always watch over you and protect you. The world that moves with us is our hearts, which is the world itself.
