The law of God
is not a gate you make it through,
not a finish line you attain.
It is the road toward relationships
of healing, blessing and justice.
The law of God
is not a target you can hit or miss.
It is the bow that shoots you
toward perfect love.
The law of God
is a metaphor
for awe
which you wonder about out loud
until you become
a metaphor for love.
