You came to me barefoot at the temple door
Rose petals strewn across the floor
Your words like scented oil sweet
You placed so gently at my feet
An offering of you in essence and form
Upon my heart jewels to adorn
No more a step would quake or falter
But stand strong before love's holy altar
How true a gift, in earnest gives
With joy abounds and hope that lives
A sacred touch of golden light
That binds our souls and breeds delight
Ever always day and night
Amid these walls of ancient plight
To touch, to breathe, to sing and play
An endless dance of vast array
Take my hand and lead me on
The night gives way to approaching dawn
