in my embrace

in my embrace

i have held you for aeons

in a place

that only my imaginings can touch

for your beauty is too sacred

for the world

when i hold your picture

in my mind

my soul bows in reverence

for you are of the Holy

a place that only Gods know of

i look at my life

and the grandeur of hope

the bounty of dreams

and i realize

that you are that epiphany

i have always prayed for

my spirit is that of the child

skipping across the meadows of life

where flowers are dancing

and butterflies prancing

for they hear the song

of my glee

i have found in thee

and if need be

i will hold you again

til the end

of all perceptions of time

beyond this rhyme

we call the infinite

beyond eternity

for now

you are here with me

in my embrace
