As the beam connects to the sun
so does my soul to yours
inconstant daylight
swear not by the moon
nor constellations
but vow
by the azure blue
of the sky
or the salt in the ocean
sure to stay and multiply
on our tongues
our hands two pilgrims
sin purged
the east
bright
with the morning
a constant cycle
our warmth
finishing the race.

Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.

Love the imagery, love it all!

I may know the truth but not face it
I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound
but turn my head indifferent.
