He who shines



In he I am
In her I am
He asks of love
She asks of light
Together a gentle calm prayer
In purity
Grace laid bare.

In innocence.
You kneel here in.
Solice of the light.
Raising within, this love.
Freely venturing as
my eyes weep not for your words
but for you.
Tears that cannot explain away
the light of love.

Such delicate rays
attach me to your soul.
The mercy of your miracle.
Adoring angels
watch over your divinity.
Praise all glory in your name.
You know me, all.
Pinicle of all life.
