»A Sense Within«

by Quintin Anthony Maitland

Deep within there is a sense of being
A sense of being and belonging, hope and true love
Deep within there is a sense of wisdom
A sense of wisdom that gives surety safety and peace
Deep within there is a sense of serenity
A sense of serenity that provides beauty in every waking moment
Deep within...a sense of you, my most awakened sense of all

You are my shelter in times of wrath
You are my saviour in times of despair
You are my purpose in times of need
You are my direction when I am lost
Most of all you are you, you are mine, and I yours

So I ask of you today to give to me your heart
I ask of you your devotion and love
I ask of you these secret and special things
All in order to give you all of mine
All in order to love you till the end of time

Nothing can disturb the presence of this uniting
No one can interrupt this magnificent bond
For we stand as one an eternally woven friendship
Woven in love, passion, faith and hope
Hope that is as strong as faith and will last longer than any

You my love are my one and only hope
Without which my goals are pointless and have no meaning
Without which my every breath becomes severe labour
Without which my heart becomes incomplete and discharged of all that was ever good
My love, save me from this darkness today
Insert light, love and gentility upon me
For this is the essence of my being, the essence of my every desire
It is YOU.
