My Beloved

I have come to the refreshing springs. My soul is still and quiet and refreshed. The waters are clear and pure and bring life to body and joy to heart and hope to dreams. Here I sit and drink and listen and love.

My beloved is here. He sits still, leaning back against the trunk of a tree whose shade is cool and inviting. He looks upon me with a smile on His face. He takes joy in my pleasure, He takes joy in my refreshing. He rejoices over me with His unconditional, everlasting love.

I turn my face and gaze into the eyes of pure love. Such depth, such compassion... such love. His eyes look into my soul and with His look my fears are quenched, my questions answered. He reaches across and caresses my face, His touch as light as the breeze. I close my eyes and savour His touch.

There are no need for words. We share an intimacy so deep and true and pure and right. Silence is like a song of love that passes between us. My beloved and I.
