Greater than the
crashing wave
that reaches the shore with
the sound of an earthquake ;
seagulls flee as the clear water laps onto the glistening rocks.
Stronger than the
fearless lion
as he leaps through the
forest in search of prey ;
striding through fresh waters, his metallic main gleams.
Louder than the
sound of trumpets
bellowing out their triumphant call in the darkness ;
breathing light and love into the eyes of the hopeless.
Fuller than a bee-hive
brimming with the frantic hurry of the insects ;
golden honey pours down onto the moist grass below.
Lovelier than the
fair sea maiden
perched high on the jewel-covered rock ;
dancing words flow from her lips as her hair flies in the wind.
Brighter than the
North Star
whose light reflects the beauty of the world ,
as she lights up the sky like a great strike of lightening.
Greater than all
these things
and more everlasting than the very word eternity...
is the fullness of my overwhelming love for you.
