Come closer
Come into this
Come closer
You are quite the beauty
If no one has ever told you that before
Know that now
You are beautiful
There is joy in how your mouth dances with your teeth
Your smile is a sign of how sacred your life truly is
Come into it
Come closer
Know that whatever God prays to
He asks of it to make something of worth
He woke from his dreams
Stripped the soil from the spaces inside himself
He made you
He made you and was happy for this
You make the Lord happy
Come into this
Come closer
There are birds beating their wings beneath your breastplate
Gentle sparrows who are aching to sing
Come aching hearts
Come soldiers of joy
Doormen of truth
Know that my heart was too big for my body
So I let it go...

Should have listened to the mp3 you sent first. This man has such a way with words. Dang.
Yes, you should have. *raises eyebrow* But ignoring my tidbits of delicious goodness is entirely your perogative.
Alas, the world goes on.
