My Absolution

Though distance enshrouds us,
The apostle's robe around us,
The holy water flows from my eyes,
My love is God's effulgence.

As upon you I first cast my gaze,
The first canto of our story,
So many words inspired,
So many dreams set fire.

We may have to cross deserts,
Part shining seas,
But ever we shall stay afloat,
Come the great floods.

I receive you from heaven,
O' child of heaven,
Donum Deo,
Gift from God.

Gender-less is the soul,
And there is no sin.
And if I do sin,
Let me sin.

I know but one thing,
That I love you,
And if God is love,
Then let me be absolved.
