Hang my locket around your neck, wear my ring on your finger. Love is invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.

Love can’t be bought, love can’t be sold— it’s not to be found in the marketplace. My brothers used to worry about me:

How long do we have to put up with this, God? Do you have it in for us for good? Will your smoldering rage never cool down?

And here’s why: God is angry, good and angry with all the nations, So blazingly angry at their arms and armies that he’s going to rid earth of them, wipe them out.

Stars will fall out of the sky like overripe, rotting fruit in the orchard, And the sky itself will be folded up like a blanket and put away in a closet. All that army of stars, shriveled to nothing, like leaves and fruit in autumn, dropping and rotting!
