drop by drop
distractions pass
leave senses free
to scent
to see or touch with outstretched heart
whatever You have sent
I steam and soak
in You confined

fleshed
with everything You ask
the perfume of Your breath
and song
in whisper silent torch
that strains my soul

I roll
ecstatic in the force
that made me
universe
the spark
the fired star
I breath, Beloved,
I am
engulfed in joy
because You are
