Hollowed be... my thirst.
Hollowed be... my hunger.
Hollowed be... my battered self.
Hollowed be... my extended arm.
Hollowed be... my open hand.
Hollowed be... my bare skin.
Hollowed be... my everything.
Hollowed be... my shame.
Blessed be... my eyes,
as they seek out
your beauty.
Blessed be... my ears,
as they seek out
your compassionate words.
Blessed be... my mind
as it seeks out
your understanding.
Blessed be... my hands
as they seek out
your warmth.
Blessed be... my lips
as they seek out
your lips.
Blessed be... my touch.
Blessed be... your touch.
Blessed be... our love.
