Love’s Unity (17/30)

Love's Unity 3

The Gentle Touch of Starlight
Singing down like Summer Rain
Renews and Lifts my Spirit,
An Eternal Cosmic Refrain,

Resting here Beside You
In the Shadow of the Moon,
With Love Tenderly Blossoming
Neither Late, nor far too soon….

This love is real as Life itself
Peaceful as the tone of night
Resting within your starry self
Speechless in your heart’s delights

A picture perfect moment
Worth a thousand years or more
Consumed in your paradise
Where Love and beauty always pour

Touch me with Your Lasting Love
And Make my Spirit Sing,
A Thousand years is not enough
To Span the Fervor Your Love Brings

Kiss me with your eternal flame
And make my being frail
A thousand years does fall short
A Love like this mocks all scales

Hold me with Your Precious Love
Play this True Song Eternally
And in Sweet Accord we both Shall Sing
Two Hearts, One Soul, Love’s Unity.

Starry Hearts (11/30)

b66bfcbee137550c9bea8c2339b98951

Hearts
Made of light
Uncover the truth
Amidst the darkness of lies
Like stars in the evening sky
Guiding travellers
Who simply
Look

O’ Child of Adam

lauri-blank-carly-11

O’ child of Adam,
Soul marked with grace
You were created from love
That you must embrace

O’ child of Adam
Light of His splendid Face
Embrace your nature
Ascend to your rightful place

O’ child of Adam
Born from earth,
Light your path
And abode

O’ child of Adam
The breath of His soul
Born with purity
Let greatness unfold

O’ Child of Adam
With knowledge of names
Climb to humanity
Or fall down in blame

O’ Child of Adam
There are two ways to go
Up or down
Which will you choose?

A Lover’s Dream

a lovers dream

In a winter wonderland dream
I lay my head gently on your shoulder
And look up to the stars in the sky
Who will watch over us as we grow older

I reach out and embrace your hand
In its warmth worries melt away
The stars tell me all is fine
As long as we’re together

In this winter wonderland dream
I revel in your immortal love
In soothing calmness I close my eyes
Underneath the protecting stars above

I pray to God I never wake
And dream this dream forever
In your heart I see myself
In your presence I am home

But if I ever do awake
And this dream becomes a memory
Just know that I will look up to the stars at night
And hold you in my heart for eternity

Eternal Love

c1f563c1c3e50dbc6d6aa09fab565d00

O’ light of my eyes
What beauty you contain
Descendent of heaven
All of nature is jealous

When I look into your eyes
So innocent and bright
I see a galaxy of stars
I’m mesmerized by the sight

When I see you smile
My heart comes to life
Its filled with the warmth
Of a thousand splendid suns

Even when you breathe
I hear the heavens sing
A melody of peace
This must be a dream

When I feel your lips
Gently touch my skin
A shiver runs up my spine
I can barely contain myself

We were together before
Now in union again
But time won’t suffice
Eternal love is always forevermore
