look at love with love

Rub your eyes and look again at love with love

                                           Rumi

God is love

or so we are told

and yet when we look at love with fear

or greed

or anger

it is often no longer love

to calm the feed

curb the greed

or cool the anger

it is something else

and God becomes someone else

someone arbitrary

angry

cruel

and we reflect the God

in whom we believe

and become angry

and cruel

It is time to rub our eyes

And clear them of the clouds

that hide love

and in love

look at love

again
