Air and water
Heaven and hell
Sweet Reggae beats
Calming the swell
Stripping the bottles
To the essence of truth
Naked and free
As the rhythms renew
Spin to the right
Again to the left
Steel drum refrains
Ring deep in our heads
A night filled in sweetness
Echoes on through the day
Let’s do it again
We’ll dance, live, and play
The sweetness of your strength
Entices my imaginings
Your icy chilled gaze
Stills my need
Yet fuels my desire
You — feminine, perfection — tower
Above the smoldering ash
That was my confidence
You — goddess, light — dazzle
Blind me in the falling ripples
That were
my sanity
What is woman…
if not mystery?
What is man…
devoid of quest?
In your striking gaze
I am set afire
as feminine wonder
meets masculine blaze
In your subtle scent
I am awakened
As water flows
Beneath the iced layer
Winter’s river
Quiet stratums
of you
Entering again this forest
Ancient chill filling the dawn
While just beneath the surface
Bubbling heat rages on
Child of endless wonder
Smothered by deception and pain
Sucking in warm putrid water
Misery strikes once again
Mumbling softly in the dim
Alone in the rising new smell
Welcome to the loss of your sanity
Nearing the rusted gates of hell
Heavenly light
Shines through my heart
God’s holy canvas
Great Painter’s art
Singing with angels
Healing with love
Praising Divinity
Rising above
Bearing the burdens
Of all who look on
From deep in the well
Living water is drawn
Joy finds the way
Wondrous breeze of life
Winds of forgiveness
Removing all strife
Enter Love’s palace
Sing a loud praise
Join with our Savior
Walk in His ways
Walking through the night’s moonlit beauty
Reached out and touched your waiting heart
Thoughts mixed with feelings of strong desire
Combining and drifting and moving ever closer
Twinkling stars far above the perfect scene
Called to mind the smallness of this coupling
You and I and millions of millions of others
Galaxies of wonder in dazzling bright eyes
Yet in the midst of the overwhelmingness of all
Not really in our deepest essence all that small
Part of a universe of galaxies of oceans of love
One in the waters, divine home of Providence
Drifting through the night’s moonlit beauty
Riding the oceans of stars rising before us
Unified in the great ebb and flow of forever
Combining and loving and moving ever closer
