Love takes me beyond beautiful sunrises,
Chased by awe inspiring colourful sunsets,
With their bursts of fading radiant warmth,
Horizons that stretch into eternity,
Love purely spoken is a clear message,
Gifted from the heart of Mercy’s love,
I appreciate the sound of caressing words,
My smallness is touched by eternal vastness,
The heart of infinite loving my ragged edges,
The source of every word spoken – chosen for me,
Making me safe in his truthful expression,
Eternity’s presence spending time with me.
The lie selfishly demands his version of truth,
Justifying his straw heart with further deceit,
Rejoicing in creating sad disappointments,
His breath blowing the bitter wind of arrogance,
Faking sincere loyalty with earnest promises,
Uncertain distrust are his kingdom’s foundation,
Love starts where my heart and mind join,
Sourced in hearing my name spoken,
Feeling my innermost parts are cherished,
When the Voice kindly caresses my shame,
All those ugly secret parts of me,
No longer needing to be hidden away,
Love rests in this kind conversation,
Centred around finding courage in me,
A conversation with Voice and Flesh inviting me,
My breath joining to share with theirs.
