. i carry your heart with me

to carry one's heart within our own is such a gift to experience, i can only hope you allow yourself the opportunity.
without any self serving motives and only true intentions,
i close my eyes daily and say a prayer in your name, and God is listening, that i know.

i heard this recited for the first time tonight and thought it was so beautiful i had to share...

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate
(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
