The Embrace
*
So long a time,
Without seeing,
In each and every lover,
I was yearning for Your face,


Indeed in love I would fall;
I pitied those who just wouldn’t,
And heartened those who just couldn’t,
For I thought that in love’s fall,
King like beggar could stand tall.


So long a time,
Without finding,
Turning each heart over,
I was following Your trace,


Indeed in love I did fall;
Praising fire, lauding ice,
Taking pain for pleasure’s price,
Ending passions on a crawl
Or holding someone in my thrall.


So long a time,
And not knowing,
With misdirected ardor,
I was longing for Your grace,


Oh my Beloved, now I know,
That the love one falls into,
Is a dream made up by two,
A golden wedge but not a flow.


My Beloved, I heard Thy call;
I’ve left that love for Yours above,
With Your accord I cannot fall,
In Your embrace I rise in Love.
