Gracefully-Changed

                                                             INTRODUCTION           She lies there, in the woods, uncertain of how or when she had gotten there. The earth is cold and damp to her somewhat aching cheek. She turns and lies with her back to the ground, still trying to piece together the events that had passed, but all she remembers is waking up surrounded by nothing but countless strange trees and some sort of mud. From what she can make out there were no creatures in what appears to be a forest of some kind. Still, determined, she quiets her mind, forgetting her surroundings and the pain that has started to creep into her bone

With longing He embraced me Caressed me ever so gently Drew me into Him until I was no more No longer separated, but one Like a stream never ending Full of adventure and teaming with life Such is the nature of His love Completely filling me to overflow With fervent passion He came into me Took His place as Owner of my heart Serenading me as His queen Hungry with desire I venture deeper in To the courts of my Beloved and King Like the fresh morning air He breathed me Life He is my Husband and I am His wife

Oh… moment of sweet surrender Come quickly, make haste to my door Before the agony crushes my soul Before once again I fall broken to pieces I still remember the day you passed me briefly by Leaving pictures of peace and fragments of hope With everything I had, to that thread I clung Breathless, limp and torn as fragility rendered me so Yet still with everything I was, I held dearly on The time is nigh, I feel it so coursing through my bones All strength consumed and desire sucked dry My fingers slip slowly off my imagined hope, my forgotten dream My longed for sweet surrender where have you gone… No glimmer of a trace
