Ours is a secret I love to keep, whispers and rhythymns I have yet to know... Long have I known you, hunted for words to make up an acceptable face for you... You are ever unraveling my skin, peeling away the self I once thought so righteous. You mark me with the mark of love, you cleanse me with the water of your mouth, you cover me in righteousness, unfamiliar tho it be. you kiss me with your kindness, oh lover of mine.
Mountains make me weary, weakness makes you come close to me... You said I wouldn't believe it even if I was told, things only my friend would know. Yours is a way I've always wanted to take, dreamt it, perceived it. Take me on that way, purge me in your wilderness. Lead with fire, carry me in a cloud, I have to have you, every way I can. Keep me seated in your love, keep me mercied in your heart. Pull me tighter, claim me closer, make me holy in your sight.
If you find my beloved, tell him I am sick with love...
Love is the destination... Mercy is the path... Let me linger closer to you... All of you is all i ask...
James 2:13
For Judgement will be merciless to those who have shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgement
Sweet friend! I am soooo regretful that we missed your goodbye party. We were literally in the throes of exhaustion and had fallen asleep after church that day and slept through the party. I am soooooo sad about that. I adore this blog and hope to hear your heart over the miles through it in the future. I love you!
