In the Beginning

The big book of God says that, in the beginning

was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God, but “God” was not the Word;

so I asked what that Word might be, what spoken

word, "lego," its concept, its idea, "logos"?

That word was “love,” an all-encompassing word,

far reaching, for God is Love, the big book tells us,

commands us even, to love, "agape" love,

great affection, loving our neighbors as ourselves

and fulfilling the laws of Moses, those ten commandments,

those “thou shall nots” and more, and there no greater

commandment than that, God’s commandment to love.

Yet do we? really? at what cost? what reward?
