Love Lazarus

Your face upon my face is sun and sky
And since the sky is blue I have some hope
And since the sun is warm I get so high
That all the universe is within scope.
The clouds upon my mind now quickly part –
The clouds upon my mind now disappear,
And with a warmth and rising in my heart,
I watch you as you slowly come so near.
I love you. For you are. My happiness,
Which ever rises, warm and clear, uncalled
In piercings of my heart. I feel so blessed
By every move and sound of you, enthralled
By every word you say to me, with pain
So sweet I die and rise in you again.
