~ Devotion ~
Where there is Love,
There will always be
Its silhouette, devotion.
You cannot look into
The face of one
Without seeing the other.
As the sun is
Devoted to the horizon,
Or sea waves devoted
To the shore...
Their essence washing
With ancient splendor
Upon the other.
And we,
Who sometimes walk
In darkness of our making,
Are never beyond the grace
Of His devotion
Washing over us.
There are stars
Twinkling His hopes
And dreams for us.
When tears of despair
Stream upon our cheeks,
A comet trail of Love
Arcs across His face.
In Truth,
There is nothing
That can really
Keep us apart.
For devotion is
But the distance
From our spirits
To His heart.
