I am walking along a dirty path surrounded by lush greenery of all kinds
Colored flowers blooming every which way
Pure whites, pale pinks, violent reds, bright yellows
My hand brushes across the tall trees that line the path
vines cover these trees of old
the sun beats down on the tops of the trees but here
underneath it all rays of light piercing the cool day
I am walking in peace
The wind brushes my cheek, so warm to feel
alone, in silence I hear
Your whisper reaches my ear
My heart leaps at the sweet honey of a sound
Calling me to yourself, as always
I continue down the path to an opening
A stream flows by, birds chirp and flutter above
In the middle of the grove you stand
Nothing physically remarkable about you
Average, would not notice in a crowd
Until you look me full in the face
Oh, how your eyes overwhelm me
For a moment I am frozen in awe
So beautiful
So nervous and excited to see you
The moment passes and I'm no longer frozen
I run as fast as I can into your arms
The same arms that held me through so many tears
So many laughs
Draping my arms around your neck I lean to your side,
Hugging you
My lover
Laughing and hugging me back you say my name
Tell me how beautiful I am and how you created me
Tell me how much you love me and died for me
Tell me how you delight in me, your lily
Call me yours
What can I say back that compares?
I just speak the words I love you
Knowing you will delight in whatever I say
just because that's who you are
We walk around the intricately dazzling garden
I tell you what's happening in my life, how I'm doing
What I am thinking and feeling
You speak nothing but truth
Words that wrap around my soul to shine light
Rest is found only here
You say you have something for me, eyes dancing
Drawing me close to yourself
My ear goes against your chest
I feel your breath then hear it
Hear the beat of your heart
We stand there in embrace, time loosing meaning
All fades away
just the steady rhythm of the heart of life
A spark flies
Another
They dance around me
Flames skirting around the air above us
They grow to living flames
Living flame of Holy
The flames surround us in a mighty inferno
Some begin to enter me
No explanation
They bury deep into my chest
I gasp in shock of the passion
Passion stirring in my heart
the flames burn
Set my heart ablaze
It is now a fire ball rising
pumping Holy through my veins
the sensation is beyond words
His love overtakes me in the firestorm
my heart is thumping to a new beat
His fiery beat
I am consumed
The flames ebb
Time resumes
I pull back and look into his eyes
the fire flickers there
We smile in knowing
spending more time together
He shows me what it means
His love that I just experienced
have known and will continue to know
this burning
my heart is forever His
my bridegroom's
my Jesus
