The night was long and now You awaken me
in the stillness before the day stirs itself
to its own illusion.
I hear You and recognize the presence of
Your enduring Love as the fragrance of a lily.
The air is heavy with Your fragrance and
I melt into it while awaiting the touch of
Your Words on my fertile heart.
Stay with me.
I wait for You and I listen, but I do not hear.
Your silence is like death.
Why do You not come?
Oh, the moments and the days without
You are more than my soul can bear.
Where are the hours of delight You promised
when the day was still young, when the
Light danced on the bands of shimmering
Waters like countless jewels.
I long for the dancing with you again;
The memories of our love are mesmerizing
and infinite in my heart.
Come Back! Come Back!
I call and call and still You hide in the
shadows of the hills and in the rushes
along the river.
I long for Your kisses and the lullaby of
Your eyes to quietly rock me to eternity
in Your arms.
Only You satisfy my soul.
Only You are Peace.
The Light of Your essence is the guidance of my feet.
Dance with me!
