My soul burns fierce, it cannot contain, This boundless longing, this sweet, wild pain. You are the ocean, I am the shore, Forever I yearn for something more. Your waves crash through, they pull, they sweep, Drowning my fears in waters deep. I am the sky, and you are the sun, Together eternal, yet always one. Your light consumes, yet sets me free, A love so vast it’s all I see. Come, lose yourself in this divine fire, Let’s burn away all false desire. For what remains, through ash and air, Is truth, is love, beyond compare.
