Still My Heart

deeper and deeper still
still my heart
that cannot fathom
that cannot reach
Your depths

i cannot breathe
eye-level of the seas

higher and higher still
still my heart
that cannot fathom
that cannot reach
Your heights

i cannot touch
the sun on tippy toes

still my heart
keep my soul
deeper and deeper
higher and higher
where breaths are not needed
where the heart stops beating
where the Spirit is living

with ponderous wonderment
of the inkling You gift -
my open hands feel the weight
of Your mighty and gentle palms

You underscore them in embrace -
i dance in the transcendent space
