I have burned like a candle

I have burned like a candle
in the flame of your love
have melted hundred times
grown a million times in love

love melted me like hard iron
and forged heart into shape
now each blow from hammer
helps me perfect my shape

My house was shaped then
but its entrance was tight
I broke it with many blows
and there enters your light

your love illuminates dark
residing in my small house
And through narrow lanes
in blood you enter my house

my heart's expanse knows
no limits to the universe
I see you and I see it all
In you I see the universe

I see the flowers bloom
in middle of rustic autumn
and the fragrance around
reaching my heart's bottom

I see the sun shine bright
even on gloomy winter night
I see across once frozen lake
and marvel at nature's sight

The river crawls to my feet
from the land of your field
I dive, soak in it each day
and in it my wounds heal

I look up to the heavens
the sight no longer entices
Ah leave me with my love
wise men, I love my vices

The lord may live there
but for me its my love
you seek what you revere
and let me revere my love
