Poetry: Deeper We Go

Man:

Sent from above,
my prayers answered
Yes—
you came from above
You are within me!

The one I love,
you have my heart
take my hand
enter my world.

Deeper we go
drowning in love
Spirit, soul, body
one in you.

You are love
envelope me wholly
Thank you, Lord
Spirit of God.

You are mine;
my beloved wife
my sweet, sweet dove
God’s Holy One.

My dearest husband
my one true love,
your tender kisses
your sweet, sweet love.

You are Spirit,
in truth I worship!
Spiritual love
our bed of love.

Hallelujah!
My angels witness—
They watch softly,
they fight fiercely.

Love so eternal,
our hearts so infinite.
You, Father, and Son
have made your abode within me.
