Journey

Can you hear that silence cocooning the tempest within me?

Can you feel that,

My voice calling your one hundred thousand names?

Can you see that,

All the empty spaces receding as your lips become my,

My song?

Take me on a journey,

A journey of you,

Where I dissolve in your essence.

Take me up your hills,

Your mountains,

To your highest peaks.

Breathe into me your beauty,

And let me surrender my life to it.

Embrace me,

And let that be the ancient hymns I sing of love.

Let me drink my life from yours.

Let me bathe in the ocean of your voice,

Becoming every drop of water.

Let me sink,

Sink so deep.

Then let me raise myself in you.

Let me breathe your every breath.

Let me rise and fall inside your hands.

Between birth and death,

Let me be the love you make.

Take me whole,

And take me broken.

Take it all for nothing.

Nothing belongs to me.

I am a borrowed moment in your timeless dwelling,

And I wear a costume that is too tight.

Take it.

Disrobe me with your sword,

And take it all now,

Because nothing,

Nothing else will do.

I know you.

I know you in the peace of fallen leaves and in the rapture of the wind.

In every grain of sand,

In the shore,

In the tide,

The waves,

In giant trees and mossy ground,

In the summer breeze,

In the winter sun.

I know you in my laughter,

In the hunger of my heart,

In the emptiness of my hands.

I know you in every moment of despair,

When I forget that you are near,

So near to me.

Yet you are more than that,

Beyond the beyond,

And even further from the speck of dust to the movement of the constellations around my neck.

So I beg you,

I beg you,

Show me what I yet do not know of you,

Because you,

You,

You can no longer hide yourself in me.
