To what form shall I compare Thee, my Lord?
That I shall be complete when I attempt
to crystallize Thee in alphabets?

Bold of me to try to
solidify Thee in phrases
that come beating out of my heart's recess.

Ah, ye, perhaps to a string of an instrument!
That slow, wild, itinerant sound-
the harmony of who Thy is.

Strike, sway, strike, strike, sway
My soul runs amok.
Bless me with Thy presence forevermore.

Oh my Lord, the opaline of who Thy is,
ti's art of mine, shall neigh aput.

    Fair damsel, without tardy completion 'tis within you, methinks, to allow the expression of hearts full. My brave soul pondering.

    Mel, this is very beautiful :) I love that you've written this in old English, as that's what I'm used to reading religious texts in. For some reason old English seems to suit this topic best.

    My favourite verse. Very beautifully written, honest and to the point. I've run out of nominations, but I clicked that 'Like' button about 8 times. Stingy bugga only gave you 1 Like though.

    Thanks for sharing this piece with us all :)

      Wow, Maher, this is such a heart-warming comment. Thank you for appreciating the piece. I love Old English, and I found it perfect to express the feelings I have. Old English has somehow a different tug at heartstrings. :-) One like is more than enough!
