Under the dark

Who do you say I am?
dead or alive?
write your dreams in my heart
speak your thoughts in my mind
I am wind in the air
who do you think I need?
Wisdom is my plentiful valley
Walking deep in your valley is my only wish
Love is my wisdom she is my hope she is everything
death flees from me as she speaks inside of me
Bread of her loaves ache my deep bones
I only desire her valley and her mountains and her everything
I am fully insane in my need for your lights in my room
You are my sanity you give me hope to dream
I do not live well without you I am nothing
You are my paradise
Mountains of bliss are your tents under the sky
with you I am fully alive
I do not seek after power or glory or fame or riches
I seek after you alone my Helen of Jerusalem
I only want You Helen of my Peace.
