Poem

Echo of My Love

From Thee I took this love today,Then take in turn its image back, I pray.
I fed upon its breath and sweet release,The secrets of my love and inner peace.
The light broke forth and drew me to ascend,Toward God I hastened, drawn unto my end.
My spirit soars within the sky's embrace,Let it swim on or sing with holy grace.
Its song is echo of the praise we raise,When beauty's face begins to greet our gaze.
I come to Thee in rapture's ecstasy,And bid that echo answer back to me.
