.

I close my eyes —

I’m in the lavender place

sweet with wood smoke and cedar.

crickets chirp, fireflies flicker,

bullfrogs bark.

.

silent moon observes,

stars and I await the wishes.

 darkness suffocates and overwhelms.

from the black, a light appears,

I know as you

.

If we serve with Love

our decisions become easier.

Instead of asking, What would I like?

Ask, What can I do to help?

.

This isn’t my idea,

but, over the past few years

I’ve been applying it

in my daily life.

The result —

I’ve found my purpose.

 “Truth without love is brutality,

and love without truth is hypocrisy.”

— Warren W. Wiersbe

.

.

Why would lovers wear masks,

if not to deceive?

Truth is freedom, freedom is truth.

These are not abstract concepts.

If I pledge you my love, I pledge you my absolute truth.

I stand naked before you

with my flaws, imperfections,

 indiscretions.

I beg of you

accept this humble servant

who is not worthy

but, who will give his life

to protect you and your honor.

Everything else can be taken away,

this is all I have to give.

Love me for me,

or leave me.

Let me love you

for you,

not for the mask

you choose to face the world.

.
