Since Love Embraced Me
What have I become since love
embraced me?
More an ocean than a
reservoir,
A chalice that is lifted, or
a key
That full unfastens the sweet
mystery you are.
How steep the moon climbs
silent in the sky,
Yet neither distance nor the
endless sweep of space
Shall wrest you from my heart
or nullify
The nectar of the dawn that
is your face.
We run in laughter down the
narrow trail
While holding hands, as
sunlight, shedding gold
Upon the grass, a secret
realm unveils
In which we shall not
languish or grow old,
But live forever in the land
above
Within each other’s arms,
contented and in love.
