The first effect of love is melting.

Finding You

© 2001 Matt Henry


You are a fire, burning,
Filled with beauty, yearning to be known.
Up close, a fire blazing,
Far away inviting gazing.
Do I dare go?

Your light opens my eyes
Your voice fills my ears
Your warmth melts my fears
Your life is the life within me,
You've trapped me, you've set me free.

Delicate as a flower,
Yet holding inside a power without end.
You recognize darkness looming,
Not afraid to reach out, blooming to befriend.   Refrain

Your light opens my eyes
Your voice fills my ears
Your warmth melts my fears
Your life is the life within me,
You've trapped me, you've set me free.

Finding you is strangely familiar,
Like a song I maybe used to sing.
Why? I don't know
But I feel at home,
Like remembering something.      Refrain
