In Love With The Lord

A Prayer for Passionate Declaration

Out of the rolling ocean came a drop gently to me, whispering I love you before long I die. I have traveled a long way merely to look on you, to touch you, for yours is in me. Again we wander, we love, we separate again; again he holds me, I must not go. I see him close beside me, with silent lips sad and tremulous. Our love is as the ocean… one invisible stream of inseparable life. Be not impatient, and in the meantime I salute the air, the ocean, and the sunset for your dear sake. What is your path in life? Listen to your soul. Remember the feeling. For who but I should understand love with all its sorrow and joy. My mind has a thousand eyes, and my heart but one: my love for you is indefinable. Your prevalent and sustaining passion is tender and timidly sensitive. You have given me passionate declaration. A cry from your heart has crystallized my soul through spiritual rapture. It is true. It is true.
