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 Duet 7:9-12 1Kings 8:22-23 Daniel 9:4 Song of Songs Rev 5:9 COPYRIGHT © 2014 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
