Oh, I  arose
from  this background
of cosmic  matter
and  cosmic  energy
like  something  thrown  upon
­the shore  of the sea.
I had no reason  to be
I had no reason to live.
Oh,   I  longed  for a reason
of why I should be.
Some  reason  to brighten my lonely  life
and then like some lightning  bolt  from the sky
you  came  into my life
and my life  was never again the same.
For  you are  life
and you are love
and like a fire
my love for you ever  burns
within  my heart
and  my  soul is consumed
in my love of you.
And now all my life
I live for you
and all my thoughts
are thoughts of you.
And all my eternities
I shall seek  to spend with you.
