A small leap of faith; forthcoming,
Falling deep, the abyss avoided.
A gentle kinship with a Person living
True love invites; unmanipulated.
A response,
A choosing,
A self-doing.
Facts stacked, reasons in and out of seasons
Checked.
A heart and will now inflamed now moving.
Talked into believing a revered Being's
Unending love for me?
Free to ignore,
Free to reject,
Free to resent,
What will it be?
Free to implore my supernatural Other.
A small leap of faith; journeying,
Alongside a Lover.

- Comment from author about the poem: Breaking the shackles of lust, the great counterfeit to love, the imposter; giving away the impulses of the earthly, animal instinct for the inspirations of the higher, true and transcendental domain that only the human being was created to seek and find. Purgation, illumination, and yes, union with Love itself is the pursuit of a well purposed human life.

A profound search into the spiritual journey we as humans all take - - your pen describes the vast difference between true love and the counterfeit of lust which dominates those who know only the need to satisfy physical senses. An enlightening read Gary and thanks for sharing it.
You're welcome Fay and thank you for commenting. Praying for fortitude while reading the first stanza of James George Deck:
"O Lamb of God, still keep me
Near to Thy wounded side;
''Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide.
What foes and snares surround me;
What lusts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me
Alone can keep me clean."
You're welcome Diamond; I appreciate your time and your comment.
Beautifully well thought words on love and lust.
Thank you Marnesha.
