I Only Want to Hold You

The foxes have a hole
Within the comfort of the earth,
Their bodies curl together
In a gently warming hearth

Their tails wrap around their snuggle
Keeping out the cold,
The air is chill above them
But their comfort’s ages old

The birds they have a nest
Within the branches of the tree,
They rest together in the warmth
Of knowing they are free

They wake upon the morning’s air
And sing the moonlight home,
The atmosphere is wintry
But their hearts’ alive and grown

My heart is yours to rest within
My body’s out of time,
It’s energy is nourishing
The heart that is divine

The fountain at my centre
The pure vessel of my love,
Are gifts for your remembering
The grace that rains above

The only place the son of man
Has left to rest his soul,
Is in his brother’s mind
As we remember we are whole

The only warming body
That you have to lie within,
Is the body of the self
That holds us gently free from sin

We become the one
As we bring comfort to the mind,
That’s asking for the blessing
Of the heart that’s gentle, kind

We become the blessing
And our bodies perfect be,
As the fountain at our hearts
Is opened to eternity

Eternally I love you
And eternally I see,
That my desire to hold you
To the heart that’s flowing free

Can giftly be a comfort
And no need a burden be,
I only want to hold you
In the warmth of certainty
