A Step Up

A Step Up 

All was good, yet after looking over it all 

A life was still missing, to finally bless all

All were pronounced good even me

Yet in my aloneness not knowing what was not

My aching heart beats, unknowingly cries out 

What would I wake up one day to see laying at my side

May it be said it's not good for me to be alone

Perhaps when I awake again, here would be my bride 

In my exhilaration my unknowing desire is finally fulfilled

At my side close to my heart a form presses still

Soft to the touch like none before

This is just what I needed not wanting more

I'm from the earth, course, tough and rugged to the touch

A body I fear from within here, there's none like this anywhere

I can love this part of me, protect and nourish very much

The best part of me, looked into my eyes with a stare

You were in me all along, and I never knew it

Waiting to come out, here you are to be all I can only hope to be

You will be more to me than any other 

To live, to hold, I'll cherish you forever 

Dare not I hurt you, for I'll only hurt myself 

You will see more than I can, come to know more than I see

We will live in a Presence that gave us life itself

I'm living out this ecstasy to have you on life's journey
