Every night I arise to sing,
 to invite,
 and to celebrate
 the birth
  of sacramental love
 in the opening of hearts,
 as the earth and sky
 reflect the brilliance of the light,
 of each created moment,
 of unnumbered seasons,
 of the unexplored spaces of the soul,
 of all that is possible
 in the flashes of vision
 radiantly given
 through the divine
 light of God.
 In perfect stillness,
 a cosmic beam
 pierces time and splits
 the universe
 to let us touch
 eternity,
 to feel and glimpse
 the horizon
 where heaven allows
 its breathless beauty to mingle
 with our own.
 A Presence lingers
 in the mystical movement
 of every breath,
 a sweet unfolding
 embrace
  is poised to sweep
 this human existence
 into a transcendent realm
 of union.
 The songs slide
 from my lips,
 helplessly spinning
    words of love
 into the music
 of flowing streams
 of spirit
 already mingling
 with your own.
