dear One rise

dear One rise like the morning sun
within my heart awake the dawn
that ends this night of being me
to become the truth of You


You are not silent - we are deaf
You are not absent - we are blind
it’s the umbrella of my self
that keeps me from seeing you


Heart of my heart and Soul of my soul
closer to me than my breath
if I could only forget my self
I could remember I am you


become the sun of my days
become the moon of my nights
Your light of love will wash away
all this self that covers You


and when I’m gone away at last
the beauty that is you will rise
and nothing left to do by wake
to the wonder that is You
