Sacramental Trees
Maybe you didn’t know
When you hurt me so.
Maybe you 've killed t a few
I think your words would do.
I float across that space
Where lovers once embraced
And thus you bring torment
To me to whom love you sent.
When I close my eyes
My daytime face then dies.
I look across dark seas
To sacramental trees.
My dreams are full of loss.
Is night or day the worse?
When we return next here
Will love outstrip our fear?
I gaze upon your face,
Forbidden to embrace.
My arms ache deep inside,
As if in agony tied.
Torn apart by grief
Love is now a thief.
Where has God’s face gone
As brightly shines the sun?
The pains of loss are sharp,
Cutting through the heart
But still we turn towards love,
With all the strength we have.
Trusting in the dark
And emptiness beside
I step into the void
Love can’t be denied
