In your great mercy , O God.
Answer me at an acceptable time.
It is for you that I suffer taunts, O God.
That shame has covered my face in our time.

I dreamt that all that mattered.
Was love.
Nothing else really mattered.
But consuming love.

Love for all people.
Love for one’s life partner.
That really is for all the very different people.
And whatever fate befalls one or one’s partner.

All that really counts is love.
And we know what is love.

……

Love is really kind.
Love is just not resentful
It counts not the cost

……..

See Psalm 69
