I long to be alone with only you
to escape into the emptiness of solitude
and enter holy santuary
Retreating to the depths of my soul
where you wait to rendezvous with me
like a clandestine lover
In secluded silence, I savor the beauty
as I bare my soul to you
and you reveal yourself to me
Then in total isolation
I find refuge in your arms
as we sanctify our union
and you become incarnate within me
But we are followed
by the encroaching feet of reality
which come to stomp upon our hallowed ground
Breaking the reverence
with urgent amplifications
of life’s neccessities
As your arms of mercy slip away
my heart mourns the loss
and I hear you grumble
“how much longer must we hide”
But lord, you are within me
and I cannot cast you out
For your Love grows inside of me
and I shall find a way
