Ecstasy

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