A Song For My Beloved
Our Beloved returns with a mighty entourage
his banner men ride before him
they are swifter than stallions
and their weapons as the talons of eagles
their chariots are laden full
amphora of the reddest wine
and full of the oils of gladness
This is the story of everlasting love
written within the hearts of mankind
a story of promises kept
of exclusive devotion without equal
of it's engagement and preparations
it's unity realized and it's fidelity measureless
a vision of excellence is my beloved
He is the color of the crystalline stones
forged in the hearts of the mountains
his transparency glows in it's intensity
He is the rising of the tides
and the canopy that resides under the vault of heaven
his affections call out and reach into every dark place
and we ourselves are held in his eternal embrace
There is to us but one King and our hearts
bow before his majestic countenance
He has built a great house
many have been employed in it's construction
A place for rejoicing endlessly
every fine and desirable element
fill his treasuries and chambers
He cast out his lines one by one
and baited his nets with the words of Love
He drew us from the sea and salted us
with his own expressions
and set before us a golden bowl and chalice
filled to the brim and overflowing
and we are faint faint with Love
I am comely and clothed with desire
and my esteem is in his exquisiteness
the flawless reflection of his divinity
He has openly shown his faithfulness
our affections as the rushes of rivers , waterfalls
and rain in the spring of the old growth forests
and it's age as old as the cosmos
whose beginning is as unknowable as it's end
Come my Beloved and collect us together
gather the great feast of which every bird
under heaven will partake
be swift upon the mountains for we are captives
in a colossal wilderness filled with the desert winds
held only by the golden chords
and the silver sounds of your own declarations
of Love
