A Grateful Soul

Deep in my soul there is a stirring.
A movement, subtle
making its way to the surface
Emerging to the song which gives it life.

Deep in my soul there is a taste.
A flavor, rich
filling my mouth with ecstacy
Surfacing to sing with the nectar of its desire.

Deep in my soul there is a scent.
An aroma, sweet
like flowing honey on a summer night
Rising to listen to the flavor of joy.

Deep in my soul there is a sound.
Light and strong
Caressing me with angel's wings
Soaring to heaven to hear its maker.

Deep in my soul there is a love.
Building, growing
everyday for you and what you give
Dancing in the light of your voice.

My soul is rich.
My soul is blessed.
My soul is satisfied.
My soul is grateful ...

That your soul would share itself with mine.
