When the late night burns away with the morning sun
and darkness disappears
in the game of the blue sky
there is a kind of kindness,
suddenly some peace that falls on earth,
then all pain is missing
and you are suddenly amazed when you awake,
when the first rays of heat falls over your body;
then the sun is like a Godly flame
and on the floor
the splashing rays draw patterns,
when they peep in;
then suddenly you know that you are truly living,
when the birds stir,
you hear the first jubilant cries,
then you want to bow down before the presence of God.

Long before becoming substance, Your love
protected me,
You already knew all the many things
that I would be;
beyond the understanding of mere man
serenity,
the greatest glory envelopes You,
while constantly to me You do stay true.

...that You still hold Your hand over us
that you are looking with fatherly eyes at us
that sometimes Your tears flow
about a world in which things fall apart
...that even when we see no more light
You and every angel and being that serves You
fights in a fierce battle
to regard us as Your own.
...that every thing stands against the dark might
as You want embrace us like Your children
that Your words and all of Your laws
only express Your great unending love.

Although God may be known,
apart from the way we do
in worlds, planets unknown
even if we do not mean to,
we judge Him as we find Him in our own
but He knows us from our design, the plan,
knows everything that is thrown
in to a mere body, mind and soul, into man
but more intimately He knows every thought,
sees every single deed
whether good or bad, sought or unsought
and if we live to a creed or however we proceed
but who can tell me why we are born
into a world that is torn apart, into a place of scorn?

We see a myriad of hungry pigeons
circumventing the lawns of the park
while the early twilight is slowly falling
and cars and pickups draw red lines in the dark.
Your right hand feels hot in mine
while we walk talking on the promenade
and beneath us is the crushing breaking sea
while the city lies in the early night shade.
Moments linger as we embrace and our lips meet
while with you my life is content and sweet.

Tonight for the first time we will walk talking
in the moonlight,
will wander among the yellow creeper-rose
and out of sight
you and I will be very close in search
of the first sight
of the evening star, our magic sign,
it will be dark when I ask you to be mine.

To some people our love is a mystery,
far too suddenly to them our love came
but to you and me it took a life-time;
from the first meeting we were not the same.

There are times when the sky is so blue
that it’s almost a touchable living thing
when birds do constantly praises sing
and I am blessed in all the things I do.

Close to the waterside were daffodils,
hidden by trees,
some of their seeds might have been blown ashore
by the strong breeze,
but many more appeared suddenly
they did not freeze,
blossomed in the icy winter snow
and among the mossy stones they did glow.
