Glorious Destruction – Song for the Beloved

Standard

Can I discover the beauty of you O my Soul?

By what way should I travel in my search?

Some said that if I could merely glimpse you I could rest from my wanderings.

I could be sustained by the glory of you.

The sweetness of your breath, the curve and shape of you, the music of your laughter and the light in your beautiful eyes.

They say before you I will die and be reborn at once.

You the object of my desire, where is your habitation?

I have known you from before forever.

You haunt my dreams.

You lie just outside my waking consciousness.

You have been the force, the pull, that restless hunger in me.

I am dry and barren and almost done.  I need to drink from Your spring that I may live.

I weep wanting you.  But the few tears I have left merely fall and disappear into the dust at my feet.

And my longings may very well break my heart.

But I would joyfully welcome the shattering of myself upon you that I might be pieced back together a better man.

Like a great clipper ship of old I long to crash on to your shores and be broken.

Guide me to that glorious destruction that I might be remade in You.

  1. Hi friend! It has been a long time. I love the sound, the words and it is put together so well. Sorry for stopping by so rarely, but I will never forget you.

    Love, Isabella

  2. THAT was the best one yet. You guys are starting to gel so well together. Loved the singing. It was perfect with the poem. You know, nothing separates you from each other. Just got that weird thought as I watched and listened. So good, pardner. I never get tired of hearing you read your stuff. {{{Plato}}}
