I Want To Say Your Name
I Want To Say Your Name
i want to say Your name
over and over again
over and over
and over again
in words carried by Love
rising like a spiral
from the core of all being
in my being
i want to say Your name
with heart breaking tenderness
and call You by the million names
of endearment and beauty
ever uttered, by anyone
i want to say Your name
and tell you i love You
over and over again
over and over
and over again
until i have
spent all my words
all my tears
all my strength
all my breath
until i can
think no more,
say no more
breathe no more
be no more
and in that stillness
finally hear
walls, doors,
floors and ceilings
grains of sand,
blades of grass
sky, clouds,
trees and air
all speaking only
of You
and love for You
