Just Being Loved!

Loved and held – held and loved! 

A lark’s ascent

A twirling upward spark of life

Flew through me!

Held, held – held in his arms

I felt the gentle pressure of his presence

Holding me tight

And I was completely garrisoned

Against all fear

I was thought of – thought of!

Taught by his song

I felt the inner unravellings of his love

Telling me all

And I was entirely undone

Known in my own story 

Loved, loved – loved by the light!

I felt the waves of his warmth

Leading me through

And I was all-taken of the river

To the Other Side

  

I was, assured – and adored!

Assured by his answer

I felt the kindling rapture of his kindness

Assuring me more

And I was swept up and spent

Utterly loved and renewed

Thought of! And adored!

Adored, and thought of!

As my tides were unforeseen

A streaming in – and a flowing out

A wave of joy sweeps through me

Cared for, and gathered!

Gathered, and cared for

Down through the ages

Searched out and sought for!
