Lover of thy soul

A stranger to thine eyes

A lover of thy soul

A bind that ever ties

Beyond our mere control

A heart that's infiltrated

Where secrets cannot hide

To be emancipated

To face thy foolish pride

Tears, they streak her cheeks

Full of beauty and of wonder

Touching one who seeks

Repentance for her blunder

Is there such a thing as too much heart?

She asks herself this often

Perhaps she is not being smart

Allowing it to soften

Mother, sister, daughter, friend,

Of all these things is she

These heavy winds, they make her bend

And whisper 'let it be'

Let it be a beautiful mess

Swirling in this heart

Until a path is clear for her

Until she knows her part

Let it be the pain and joy

That dance around together

To a greater purpose

Her consciousness she'll tether

All in all she is part of the all

And wishes to escape naught

With each emotion that will rise and fall

Wisdom will be brought

This life is good and hard at once

At this she is amazed

One minute can be colorless

The next be fully blazed

The heart is here to give and serve

Of this she is convinced

From this she knows she cannot swerve

Even when dreams feel minced

A trust in the greater workings of God

This she knows she'll carry

Fear and pain will come to prod

To God her soul she'll marry

Oh, lover of thy soul!

Oh, stranger to thine eyes!

Beyond our mere control

Is a bind that ever ties.
