Love Song Ii

Within, without, the sound of hope decries, a place so soft, so small it begs to live in heart - in mind. In sea of calm set sail to dream of spell so sweet; so kind this home, and still this spot. To touch this grace, as when we die; to rest in sleep before this dawn becomes this day. And still we are as love to one to join within one soul. As if one heart could know its place - inside one soul alone. If you could be but one close thing, as near to me as GOD, in raptured awe my heart would sing; to bless your breath in sweet, sweet psalm. August 9, 2014

Andrea, thank you for your kind comment. I have been writing my entire life by instinct alone, but it is so interesting to be in a place where I can be tuned into a broader experience through the theories and concepts of how poetry works. Blessings D.

Hi Mystic Rose, I hope this move people in the way it was meant. What I am trying to convey is the dichotomy of the feeling of intense love for another, which can never be as close as one's relationship to God. I do not forget that we all have *just* a tiny human piece of God within, and that is about the best we can do and yet to me we are all an expression of God - there in all of us, to see or not, in the way He reveals himself. My choice is to see this or not. Blessings, Diana
