You Contain Me

As water condenses and gives up being free So too I give up my wayward ways for thee No more am I vapor that with the wind goes By merit of thy love I gladly transpose To snugly fit into my ascertained boundaries Where of lonesomeness I hold no worries. Thou keepest me in heat, thou keepest me in cold, No weakness gives presence within thy mold Exclaiming that our maker must have had in mind Thee for me – me for thee; better fit we cannot find In the limits of time, or the bounties of eternity, In the foundation of the earth, in the waves of the sea. By this flow let our love stay written in stone, And may it never fade lest we need to atone. Copyright © 2011 Leslie Alexis
