Aspirant to Amour

31 July 2006


Her beauty was a night
her day a dream
This open window
for love to out stream

Found and found out
the light of a distant wind
For here was a foundation
that cement to pour upon hope

As if the control was beyond redemption
then where was the redeeming one
That light so shining
as if the universe was one moon

Heaven and hope
destiny and unity
The touch of a hand
words aspirant through love


“Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they
not chosen? Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this
world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one
lesson— That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected
with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be
controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.”
Doctrine and Covenants 121: 34-36

love is a good thing to aspirate, so says brother stone! but i don't understand why you put a bible verse on it. maybe to make me think more, or maybe because you just like them. either way that is good!

I don't know why brother stone thinks love is akin to vomitus.  Neither do I know why he thinks "Doctrine and Covenants 121: 34-36" is a bible verse.

What I do know ... it is good to aspire to love!  In fact, one need not even aspire to love.  One needs only to love.

aspire not loved one
love abounds, surrounding you
you were made for love

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
