the beauty of love is liken to a well recorded song played back over a Grados SR325. 最高きれい、絶対美しい。

Only those who are able to discern and amplify the nuances of goodness in the one whom he loves can appreciate her for who she is.

The beauty in a song is often enhanced by the many instruments played, but not heard. For the spirit senses and the soul feels that which the ears hears not.

Similarly, the beauty in a person's character is not noticed, except by he who pay attention to the many beautiful aspects of that lady. Aspects which are only noticed by one who can see beyond that which is skin deep, beyond her actions and words, to the wisdom of her mind, the quiet strength of her spirit and the stillness of her soul...

*ponders*

beauty lasts not forever
jokes and teases neither
lusts and age will wither
that which drew it hither
but wisdom will grow wiser
just as love grow stronger

and once again

i close my heart to the songs of love
of love i yearn for, too high above
for the time has come to war again
to discipline my soul, holiness to gain.

whilst my head rests upon a stone
in the night that's dark and cold
the face of the Lord i do behold
for the cause of God, my life is sold.

Arise, again i say arise! Go forth, all who hear the roar, the sound of the drums the blasts of the trumpet! It is time! The time which you spent your life preparing for, Arise!

Let slumber not slow your move,
to His timing you shall groove.
For He is faithful, He is Just,
to the Promises He gave, hold fast!

And behold the wonder of what He said
it shall come to pass, upon Him, wait!
Take not the war into thine own hand,
for it is His battle, not a war of man.

Trust in Him then, in all you do
to trust in a man is to be a fool
Hear my cry Lord, in my time of need
Come swiftly, to bring my foes' defeat!
