Of God Himself can no man truly think; <br />Creator He, beyond all human thought; <br />yet questing intellect oft scans the brink <br />of what of Him may yet, in truth, be sought; <br /> <br />and if that questing grow to firm intent, <br />it clears the mind of all that blocks its path; <br />takes on a godly aim, all on Him bent, <br />and sharpens our devotion's godly dart. <br /> <br />And yet, though God's not thought, He may be loved; <br />so, leaving all those things that we can think, <br />take up - our mind now clear - the path of love, <br />and choose in love, that thing we cannot think. <br /> <br />God's grace: when thought surrenders all to love, <br />Love's bounty showers thought from heaven above. <br /> <br /> <br />2002<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0081-the-metaphysical-path-of-love/
