Oh, Love, show me the way,
not just the broad, idealistic way,
not just the platitudes

Show me the myriad, immediate,
tiny water ways,
the present way to seep,
to move with love
in every aspect of my thought  –
my first impression, my next conclusion,
my pre-perception outlook …

How I take in and include
all the children of Your world,
all of the moments,
all the patterns that I name,
their dance and music

Show me the way
where service is the path of joy
and joy the path of service  –
however slow or fast I go,
let me move with love.
