yesterday

there was a time

yesterday

when i thought that

the joy of an embrace

would melt my soul

i hungered for a glance that would

see the beauty of my eyes, my lips

i dreamed of the day

yesterday

when i could wake and

gently kiss the

eyelids of my lover

walking my fingers across

his soul

brushing the curve of his back

with my spirit

this morning

today

my heart yearns to see the

face of the

divine Father

His pure presence

the simplicity of His love

leaving me awash in

unfathomable delight

here, now

today

my soul wishes to know

the beauty of my Master

to free fall into His spirit, wrapped in His arms,

safely nestled under His wing

fully aware that He is

incapable of not loving me

yesterday, today, tomorrow

i belong to Him

amen
