May I have the pleasure of this dance?

Here I come in total surrender, giving up everything I have and everything I want or everything I thought I needed. But it all seems so dim when you walk into the room. You fill it with a divine aroma, a fragrance that pervades deep into my soul. I breathe your fragrance, I gaze upon your face, I am blinded by the light that surrounds you. You gently hold my hand and softly ask me ,"May I have the pleasure of this dance?"

 I smile, lost for words. You gracefully sweep me across the huge hall, every step in proper time and beat, your steady strong hands gently leading my steps. We move with ease, we glide above the floor, above my fears, my weaknesses, above the 'imperfect me.' I now realize that I truly belong in your strong and passionate arms of grace and love. "Hold me tightly," I whisper, "Never, never, never let me go. I want to be in your arms forever."

 I close my eyes to the distractions, voices and temptations around and gently place my head on your firm chest, so secure in your everlasting love. My search is over, I have found 'You' - the Lover of my soul. I am finally home- home where I belong. I have found not just my 'Prince Charming' but You my KING! And so I will dwell with you always, safely and securely wrapped up in your loving arms. For my life is hidden in You, O Christ, forever.
