Maybe you didn’t know
When you touched me so.
Maybe you scarcely knew
What your words would do.
I float across that space
Where lovers once embraced
And thus you brought 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?
If you return here
Will love outstrip your fear?
I gaze upon your face,
not wishing 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 life are sharp,
Cutting tender heart
But still we turn towards love,
With all the strength we have.
Trusting in the dark,
Trusting my own heart
I step into the void.
where countless humans prayed
How my heart sings
