Off the Top of My Head

Love, thy name is God
Because it is your name I whisper in my sleep
The entity I reach out for
The comfort I seek in times of need

Thy name is Prophet
Because it is your words that linger in my soul
like hope
like food
like salvation

Thy name is Friend
Because it is you who I tell all my secrets
Who I stay up conversing with
whose moments bless my soul with pure bliss

Thy name is Love
Alpha and Omega
Noun and verb
journey and destination

and ever as elusive

Elusive... I've always like that word. I cannot put it towards the concepts you have here at this time in my life but i like how you used it. Again, your work leaves a resonance.. like a medium bell or a glockenspiel with the pedal down but it isn't one sound, it's two. it's two notes struck at the same time. -Timika
