Song of Bliss #26

She has softened my touch
Though I still have not met her
She makes my thoughts gentle
My decisions more measured

She has opened my fists
Helped me grasp something better
Than the scandalous pride
And the self I once treasured

I look upon her face
And know why I have come here
Her heartbeat in my ears
Is the only sound for me

I long to see her smile
To be larger than her fear
To teach her of beauty
The wonder of being free

Her name upon my lips
Is like sanctification
The hate I have spoken
Washed away by her beauty

Her presence in my life
Blesses me with elation
Makes me strong and happy
More than I thought I could be
