Ode to the Pastel Castle

Abba, Abba,

My heart is singing

For some unknown lover—

It is hard to forget

How badly I desire

Arms around my shoulders.

My Beloved Maker,

Teach me to be satisfied

In the abundance

Of Your grace and mercy,

In the deep love

You have already shown for me.

How I wish

You could again

Send your cherished Son

Just so He could hold me—

To comfort me

In the physical loneliness

Of my existence.

You are infinitely good, Father,

You are faithful—

Never straying from my side

Even in silence:

You are my constant companion.

With romance and joy,

One day You will call me home

Arrayed in loveliness I cannot imagine—

My eyes will finally see

The divine, inlaid beauty of my soul

As Your delighted bride.

Until then,

I wait with a devoted heart

To behold my spirit’s love—

How I shall dance and sing

With a happiness I have never known!

You are my true love,

You have already found me.
