Lovedrops

June 12,2006

Gentle falling drops of rain,
Are your earthly tears mists of joy or drops of sadness?
Your tears, dew drops bring forth the life of the soils
Nourishing the powerful forces of mysterious life

Gentle falling drops of rain,
Your tears silent to the sleeping darkness in the cool
dampness of the moonless night

Gentle falling drops of my eyes,
The welling of my soul at the miss of your embrace
Your sweet softness, warm and damp satisfying as the first
rays of the summer morning
Soil damp from earthly tears

But are my teardrops drops of sadness, or soul-drops
of joy for having had your love?

O'Gentle falling drops of tears,
Nourish my heart with the sensations of having true rare love

Heart held within my heart

O'Well of soul that brings the warm water to my eyes,
Fall upon the world and profess love
Rekindle the seedlings of the mystery of soul devoted
And define a place for me with God.
