…speak to me

Speak to me with passion
that I might feel it
the burning of your heart

speak to me of pleasures
that I might desire it
the promise of your love

speak to me with pictures
that I might see it
the vision of your life

speak to me in psalms
that I might worship
the beauty of your voice

speak to me with feeling
that I might sense it
the softness of your touch

speak to me in music
that I might sing
the songs of your intent

speak to me in poetry
that I might know it
the rhythm of your mind

parlez-moi en Français
que je pourrais le savoir
la vérité de votre désir

speak to me in tongues
that I might hear you
in the language of my soul
