Refuge
When thorns choke the life from you
And all the skies are bleak with rain
When all else have abandoned you
Right by your side, invisible, I remain
My arms the open shelter,
My lips, loves true stain,
My heart the payment,
Your heart, my gain.
Through life's darkest storm
and deaths longest sleep
Forever in the depths of my heart
will be your fortress keep.
Your arms, my hiding place
Your eyes from which love does seep
Your heart the gift of mercy,
My heart buried within you deep
