My Soul Quivers with Delight

My soul quivers with delight.

It bursts with gratitude

that I have been given

this sacred gift of life.

 

My breath rises and falls

with the heartbeat of my Beloved

and I desire Him

more than raging rivers

yearn to flow into the ocean

more than the sun

aches for a new dawn

to shed its rays of light.

 

And my Beloved is teaching me

what love really is.

Love truly is

a joyful sorrow.

I am learning that love

true love

is a sacrifice of myself

with no expectations

of anything in return.
