Here, illuminated at last,Nestles the ruddy glint of spiritual certainty;Sweet moments of passion and healing,Of sensual release.

When in love or inspired,An eternal kiss from the divineAwaits us all.

Life, wherever it leads,Will always be the same,It begs for the best of you.

Sense howEven the smooth stones acheWith stories of their ownIn the shuddering light of day.

Birth our night into dayAnd bathe it clean,So that beloved things can glowTogether in a litter of light.

Sublime moments refracted,Even if only for seconds,Caught forever in your soul.

Let us have no guiltLeft to wasteFor dreaming still.

Sacred space in whichTo distil, like amber,The best of your love.

How stubborn life is,It clings like silver in our souls.

Paradise is no whim.It takes time and trust,You see.
