Sing, heart

Sing, heart.
Light yourself up, and paint the world in color.
Witness a serene night and a happy day.
Beside you I walk today's paths.
Sing, my life.
Make my footsteps echo, each one more faithful.
Let the thicket of your freedom bloom.
Flood my dreams with your beauty.
Sing, divinity.
Make the universe burst into silence.
Mighty fires springing from a self.
Standing in the chamber, the glory of being one.
Sing, and look me in the eyes.
For the honey that softens the sky at your feet as it turns toward the world,
comes from these eyes that live the sky in yours.
Days are reborn in a sigh of peace.
And here, you are my world.
