A God I Can'T Touch Or a Goddess I Can
I close my eyes and night gives way
To variegated shades of gray
And from that void a roiling storm
That gives my nightmares shape and form
Of rending claws and gnashing teeth
To things that crawl out from beneath
The rock and stones within my mind
Then comes a point of purest light
From which doves take wing and angels flight
While, as I sleep, your arms enfold
Me, driving off the dark and cold
And I’m bathed within a light that burns
Into my heart and soul in turn
A love that cannot be defined
My sins, my secrets disappear
As does my every doubt and fear
Turned to fine ash that blows away
Back into that swirling sea of gray
My faith renewed, I find my peace
I pray these feelings never cease
And I can echo this love in kind
