Soul-mate

I feel you in the gathering dusk, a whisper in the air
A kin-ship to your spirit-trust, I reach to touch you there
And though sometimes the tears may swell within by longing eye
I softly whisper, “It is well, I’ll see you by and by”

The flowers nod their perfumed head in silent empathy
Mindless of the tears I shed as my heart longs for thee
And as the crimson turns to deeper blues in western sky
I hear your voice within the hues of twilight’s twinkling eye

My heart in anguish over-flows with tender thankfulness
I languish in the memory of your smile and your caress
I know that you are there for I can hear you softly sigh
In the dusty evening air and in the breezes lullaby

Soul-mates can’t be severed for their hearts still beat as one
Unified forever by a mystery of their own
So I smile as I sense you in the moon-light as it glows
For I know you are somewhere in the breeze that softly blows

Somewhere on a distant shore in silent reverie
I will reach to brush your heart in cherished memory
And deeper than the anguish beats a heart of thankfulness
That God for just a little while gave me a friend like this

Jesus, lover of my soul
Let me to your bosom fly
while the storms around me roll
safe upon this Rock am I......

favorite hymns!
