He
by: Paula Shepard

 

He calls my name in the night,
his voice I cannot deny
and his eyes seek my soul
I am bared before him

He is everything
he is the lion
and he is the lamb
he is music and he is silence

Innocent and pure before his gaze
wild and wanton in his hands
he knows me- the song and the sin
He loves me

He is the blade
he is the rose

He leads me by the hand
to meadows green
and we dance in the moonlight
to loves melody

He lifts me on his mighty wings
so that I might fly once again
He shelters me in his soul
so I might find my way

He sings to me of love
and writes to me of passions fire
and I weep with joy
I am his
