Drinking from the fountain
I got up to stretch.
It was almost sunset,
the time for our appointment.
I almost missed it
but I had come.
I climed the ladder
way over the trees.
Warmth settled in
like the mellowing sun;
because you were near
I found perfect peace.
Only You could still
the hunger of my soul.
By your side I want to be
your purpose to fulfill.
Oh, to know such perfect bliss
as the blending of our souls;
to cherish and behold
the One who made us His!
