See me now

or forever close your eyes

blinded to my soul

 

Hear me this moment

as my song of peace resonates

with your dreams of love

 

Touch my mind with 

your essence of strength and hope

and open my heart to

satiating, eternal, selfless love

 

Tomorrow is here,

just come near

and hold my hand

as we listen to silence,

while I wrap my arms

around your heart

and kiss your eyes 

in quiet, meek gentleness
