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
