denied and denounced You for so long
I spoke Your name reluctantly
even while I searched
I didn't know
You were the music I loved
the artists who inspired
the poets who gave understanding
Looking in my mirror
I didn't recognize You
I experienced unlimited joy
the beauty of the world
feeling one with the Universe
without knowing You held me
in Your arms
Now
I realize
we can never be parted
the face of a stranger
is Your face
Your love surrounds me
holds me
heals me
pours out of me
You are Eternal Love
we are one.
