Ecstasy

Hold back the dawn,
And let us stay
For one delicious moment
Beneath the sacred canopy
Of night,
Those burning points
From distant space
Still touching us
With dreams of unreality
Of other worlds
And other times,
Fragrance of unseen flowers
Surrounding us,
And we, alone in our love,
Fully and wholly,
With our very souls and bodies,
Welded in unison,
Touching eternity,
And reaching heights
Of unimaginable splendor.
