Two Streams
Daniel Knaggs (b. 1983)
Only love has meaning;
it raises up our smallest actions into infinity.
Love is a mystery
that transforms everything it touches
into things beautiful and pleasing unto God...
For love knows no gates nor guards;
even the keen-eyed Cherub
with his flaming sword,
will not stop love…
All things will come to an end;
but love, never.
God’s love is the flower –Mercy the fruit.
Only love has meaning…
Aquae multae non poterunt extinguere caritatem nec flumina obruent illam…
[Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it… (Song of Songs 8:7)]
