Twelve thousand rays
Passed through me
Words of engulfing white light
Purity dripping from
Your wit-sharpened knife
🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨
I throw myself on
The mercy of your love
Shedding tears of relief
My loneliness died that day
Sacrificed at your feet
🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨
Rays born of the light of love
Shining down upon me
I pray you do not depart my life
Leaving me to grope in shade
🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨
Bless me with one glancing breath
A single stroke of your lashes
Creates a sufficiently cooling wind
I promise to be chaste and true
Always to your one last chances
and last night's dreams
🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨
I listen well, I promise you
It’s only in the follow-through
Where I lack abundant gumption
To perfectly observe rigorous instructions
Never would I knowingly
Cause your heart to gasp or ache
🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨🕊️🤍🪞✨
Pure intentions are my only gift
Spoken words with a heart of truth
If ever you doubt, or seek shoring up
I spout an endless fountain
Of soul-healing words
