Taken! And the Wings of the Dawning!

Dear lover of all of me, my beloved

All forgiving the bringer of dawn

Full feathered are you in sapphire and amethyst

And all immutable!

Brighter than a million stars: source of them all

Swifter than any arrow: weaponed with every part of love   

You have made me terrible as an army with banners  

You have made me fortressed as a strong-winged albatross

Not the wildest storm can pull me down!

Because when you took away my plan

Of how to love you

And turned it all upside down

You set me free: you loved me

When you banished me to the ends of the earth

And took away my sanity 

And put me in a dark and fearsome place

You were loving me

When you took away my credence in the sight of others

And they saw me as insane

You were loving me

When you took away all my teachers and all my books

And left me nothing

It was because you loved me

You took away all my knowledge of you

Till I knew nothing

In this you were loving me

You took me up in a whirlwind and I found myself only evil

In this you were only loving me

And I was set within 

In a great liberty

You took away all my friends till they could answer me

Not a word

And I saw, you were only loving me

You took away my dross in the furnace of my affliction

Till nothing of me was left:

You were just loving me

All along I was in your embrace

And taken, I could fly on the wings of the dawning!

To places within you both boundless and wide 

I adore you!

You alone are all I have you have all of me!

When all of me you have, I have . . . everything!     

I love you!
