The Lover's Psalm
I know not how to praise you,
Oh my love,
Whose eyes hold mine across the fire,
I who am flame, dance only for you;
You burn me to ash with a glance.
How shall I touch you,
Oh my love,
Whose lips are sweeter than Midsummer's mead,
River to sea beneath the milk-white Moon
You baptize me in the sweat of a thousand nights.
I wish only to know you,
Oh my love,
Whose laughter rings in me, dawn and dusk
Hands of a bard, calling song from my skin
You breathe the universe into my blood.
With what name shall I call you,
Oh my love,
Who rocks me like Goddess,
Filling me like God,
Shadow to light, season to season,
My one, eternal,
and my choice, for tonight.
~from The Body Sacred
May you have a beautiful and joyous solstice
