Feather Banding

They all think I set myself on fire
No, I merely stand in His presence
As His wife, veiled by the beauty
Of His life that is feathered over mine
I sought Him not
His soul’s desire found me
A surrounding song of love forgotten
Echoed as the sea, “I long for matrimony
To a queen I shall look upon forever”
He chose me
He chose me
Oh! Even the King’s riches delight in the idea that I sit with Him
Luxurious lapis lazuli splits its side, opened wide to hide me
As He passes by to press the wonder residing in His face
Against the breast of one so scorned and let me say sincerely debased
Constant shipments come to the threshold of my complex door
Ophirian gold...
I have no more room to hold all I have come to know of this One, brazen and bold
So...
He must move me from these Babylonian pyramids
And place me in a wilderness paradise,
For my eyes to finally dry by His side for I have missed Him
As He watched me always passing Him by
Ignorantly neglecting, I am love’s side;
This sweet Guy who made silence my benign resting place
When I am come unto the consummation
I know I’m home, abiding in protection
His left hand locks my neck securely
His right hand dominates my insecurities with compassion
I sought Him not
His soul’s desire found me
All alone, sinking in the mire
He said, “I long to be thy Beau forever”
How could I say no with his feather banding over mine
He chose me
He chose me
