I AM A BIRD FROM PARADISE

May I remember always whenYour glance in secrecy met mine And in my face your love was like A visibly reflected sign. May I remember always whenYour chiding eyes were like my deathAnd your sweet lips restored my lifeLike Jesus’s reviving breath. May I remember always whenWe drank our wine as darkness died My friend and I alone at dawn Though God was there too at our side.
