~ THESE HANDS ~

These are the hands that will love you,

the ones that reach out for you now.

Through such clouds of mystic wonder,

to trace the lines upon your brow.

~*~

They offer you pure tenderness,

a guidance from life's storm,

In them you will find your own self,

your spirits lifted and transformed.

~*~

Time will suddenly stop its travels,

giving way to all that you feel.

Know this of which I am holding,

is my gift of a heart that is real.

~*~

You will be consumed within my soul,

no questions will you need to ask.

Nothing shall ever be kept from you,

all things now unraveled and unmasked.

~*~

Take from me this light surrounding,

for this is my most solemn vow.

These are the hands that will love you,

the ones that reach out for you now.
