Boundless love (poem)

Slight detour from the commentary.  I am doing the Jesuit prayer exercises.  One exercise was to contemplate God's love and write a poem.  I focused on the concept of "boundless love".


A love that knows no boundaries - boundless
Boundless of time and space,
Boundless of fault or place,
Boundless in grace and mercy,
Boundless of face of person,
Boundless in light,
Boundless in might,
Boundless of reason,
Boundless of season,
Boundless in altitude,
Boundless in magnitude,
Boundless of month or year,
Boundless of my fear
Inescapable,
but is reject-able,

Help me open and receive,
Receive and perceive,
Your love for me.
