The Binding 

In the foggy misting morning
On a day that never fades 
Came a vision from my senses
Of a binding in the shade

Binding touch that always lingers
In a heart now calmed and still 
Fear is gone amidst your whisper
Love is here, my life fulfilled

Smiles of sweetness eyes of glass 
Glide into my guarded past 
There is no spirit's fear to heed

There is no other earthly need
