Of All These, I Hold So True

Of All These, I Hold So True


The smile of my love so true
Her eyes so deep, my soul consumes
Her caress, my heart beats, anticipates
Her desire, my body, rapture awaits

The time spent with my love so true
No works spoken, yet understanding you
Knowing that she will always be there
Unconditional love beyond compare

A friends laughter, that fills the air
A look of trust, earned and aware
A warm smile, eyes meet, love shared
Fills my heart, with loving care

The time spent in silence with one
The awareness of being, too consuming for some
The comfort of knowing, of being just here
Of being alone, of nothing to fear

The stillness of the night envelopes my soul 
The emptiness of sound takes control
The racing of my mind dissipates
The calming of my soul appreciates 
 
The stillness of fresh fallen snow
The deafening silence, that few care to know
The bone chilling wind, that surrounds me whole
The oneness, the now, envelopes within my soul

Of all these I hold so true
Worthy of my time, so new
The blessed, I hold so dear
Of all the love, I hold so near

Of all of these, I hold so true
To all of these, my heart anew
Within my soul, glowing debut
Of all of these, I hold so true
