Branded

The heavens erupted that day

when Your eyes finally met mine;

the depths of longing one look could fill

were almost too much for one girl to bear.

my breath stilled and, for the faintest moment,

my heart stilled, too.  True ecstacy of the soul;

i dissolved in You.  Childlike, full of wonder,

unable to speak a word, i fitted my hand in Yours.

Caught in Your gaze i was unbearably small,

Caught in Your love, my heart rose enough to encompass the world.

Your power twined around me; it's aura scorching my skin.

i knew true helplessness before You, true surrender.

My soul branded, i knew i would never be the same.
