Would you lose <br />Life for me? <br />Step beyond <br />Barren region <br />Of self-thinking, <br />Give a walkover <br />To self-rule? <br /> <br />Would you die <br />For supreme virtue? <br /> <br />Would you meet <br />Death for me? <br />Guiding others <br />To bountiful ground? <br />Searching for <br />The gone astray... <br />Until found? <br /> <br />And, subdue <br />Wishes to highest <br />Rule of Truth? <br />Curb instincts <br />For noblest purpose? <br />For the other... <br />Sweating blood... <br />Reaping crop <br />Of favors flood? <br /> <br />Be tested devotee - <br />A pleasing gift for Me? <br />Always eager <br />For heroic gesture, <br />Piously self-giving... <br />Dying while living... <br />Living by reason <br />Of regally dying... <br />Dying for The Undying... <br />Living because <br />Of dying for me? <br /> <br />Would you lose... <br />Life for me? <br />Unsparingly <br />Sacrifice oneself <br />To unfailingly <br />Protect me? <br />Be creedal devotee <br />To Immutable Thee? <br />Fully sacrificing <br />Altering, shifting 'me' <br />For the Unchanging, <br />Infinite Thee? <br /> <br />Would you die for me? <br />Be virtuously self-giving - <br />Not giving to get pleasure - <br />Using me as mere object <br />In vast measure? <br />Not crushing our <br />Shared, sacred dignity? <br />Partaking in destined <br />Full blown felicity... <br />Not deprive of Life <br />In intimacy strife? <br />Being set free <br />By loving Me... <br />And, die to thee... <br />To verily love Me? <br /> <br />Your not dying - <br />Is less... <br />Worse and worse! <br />Than lying... <br />To love Me... <br />Is to die to thee... <br /> <br />******* <br />Would your lose <br />Your life for me? <br />.............................................................................. <br /> <br />Oh, the infinitival <br />Dynamism of love!<br /><br />Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D.
