Love gives the soul the wings to fly





Oh, thou, the greatest of loves,

loan me thy wings that I might fly

caution the winds

to stir mightily within the expedient sky above

That I would soar

and touch the greatest

of the clouds up in the sky

to hover on the brink

of its eternal life, having known such a love

Love, thou who give wings

to the hope eternal deep within a hungry soul

teach me the rudiments of flight,

that I should fly upon the crests of hope

and find what is is highest height



Oh, thou, the mightiest of emotions

speak the words to give me lift

warn the zephyrs

bid them to blow with increasing haste

that I would rise

on the wings of time and discover

all that befalls those who dare to seek

Love, in your eternal essence

wing your way unto the depths of my spirit

awaken to life the stirrings of the dream

For I have sought its face

and held fast within its promise

that I would find it in its totality and prime

a love that would somehow, one day be mine
