Chalice


Open my heart that I may see

The chalice of love

And drink deep


May I hold the seas in the palms of my hands

And offer them up to you

While rivers of stars melt in my cup

May I lift them up and offer the winds


May the secrets of life

Be given to me

That I may exalt the beauty I see





God River


Why is it

I come back to you

Time after time?


Why is it

I return to you

Evening after evening?


Because I love you


Why is it

You are so beautiful?


Why is it

You shine

In my heart so?

You make my heart shine so?


Why is it

I melt

In your presence?

Why is it

I melt into you?


Why is it

Love pours

Like rivers of light

Through my heart?


Why are you everything?


How is it you were made?


Where do you come from?


What is the secret

Of your secret?


Do you wait for me

Time after time?


Why is it

I come back

To you

Time after time?





Change


You were like the sun and the moon

A shining in my heart


To me was given the heart of the sky

The starry night’s wisdom


Change is a long, long task

A dying, a dreaming


Change is a long, long task

A dying, a dreaming


Alone I make my way

A long and lonely path

There but the seasons to comfort me

A dying, a dreaming


Long and long I spoke with my soul

Of death

Of love

Of things that matter


I’m clothed in light

Loved and touched by light

And I shall live forever
