Agape - 1
"...one can never leave home... one carries the shadows, the dreams, the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes.. " - Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter, 2008
Healing all my hidden hurts
With music, laughter and light
Sensations of silent winds
Blowing a caress against naked skin
Whispering joy through my heart
On wings of azure promises
Whistling, singing and dancing
Reflecting all the imaginings
Of a soul who bleeds warm hope
And melts through prayers
Of quiet truth, awakening silence
In bright, brilliant visions
Of inspiration, a muse so alive
It feels like the color of praise
Scarlet red, birthed in lavender
Wishing for touches of tangerine
Amber and gold and miracles so bold
They birth beauty in their path
Home is where the heart is, I’ve heard
And listened to the speaker with hope
Because I know my heart is in love
With the twinkling eyes that look into me
Welcome me and pleasure me
Break me away from the sorrow and fear
That causes me to wish I could always be
Where these eyes fill me up with courage
And make me alive in a way I’ve never been
Alive to the moment, passionate
Pure and praising the One who blesses
With a feeling so precious it embraces me
With joy I couldn’t possible express
I can only feel it – It’s real and it’s warm
And it caresses my very soul – It is home
Where the heart is… with eyes gentled by life
Reflecting my hope and faith and grace
And all the love I have to give
Home is where the heart is and my heart
Is with this man of my gratefulness
This man of my longing and laughing
Like light shining across my thoughts and a
Brilliant array of prayers so thankful
They are lifted up to the heavens
On hands who held their treasures with
A faith that abides in amazement
That He is blessing so richly, so kindly
With blessings that fold hands into praise
And lift heavy hearts to sing in a way
That can only be accepted as adoration
Worship of the One who created me
Gave me the courage to break free of pain
And love beyond my wildest imaginings
With faith, hope and peace that assures me
My heart belongs to a home of eternity
Love like this is beyond words
It’s bigger than awesome and wilder
Than the night… it is growing fuller
With each passing expression of gentleness
That breathes a prayer up to Him
The One who is home to the love that
Has become agape, eternal, beyond measure
Love like this is the home I so treasure!
