~A  Psalm for My Beloved~

Lo, I have opened unto you the wide gates 

of my being,

And like a tide you have flowed into me.

The innermost recesses of my spirit are 

full of you, 

and all the channels of my soul are

grown sweet with your presence. 

For you have brought me peace;

The peace of great

tranquil waters, and the quiet of the summer sea. 

Your hands are filled with peace as the 

noon-tide is filled with light; about 

your head is bound the external 

quiet of the stars, and in your heart dwells the calm miracle of twilight. 

I am utterly content.

In all my spirit is no ripple of unrest, 

For I have opened unto you the wide gates of my being 

And like a tide you have flowed into me.

~Eunice Tietjens~
