the light of Love
lovingly caresses
mi alma
and illuminates
my heart
and yes, even
lifts my head
such beautiful words
that i need neither
leave nor forsake
neither proclaim
nor deny
for they
have been written
on my heart
and there they have stayed
for they were written
with passion
and beauty
and a love-longing burning
for even merely
a glimpse
of that kind of
Grace.
