let me adore you

just give me permission
to enter your boundary
to devour your goodness
be edified by the uplifting draught
of your pearly voice
your shimmer your centre
your tender persistence
let me become you
let me behold you
let me be trusting, 
let me be hopeful
let me rise to the edges of time 
and open my life to your eternity
let me run to the edges of space 
and gaze into your immensity
let me climb through the barriers of sound
and pass into your silence:
let me be given into your present
your absence
let me awaken all of a sudden
in the fresh happiness of your rain
as the blink of time in a bead of dew
And then, in stillness and silence

Let me adore You.
