A Dream? Part Two

Ever so softly I hear footsteps.

There is a rustling of fabric all around me.

Gentle fingers lower my hands from my face.

 

I open my eyes and gasp!

His knees are touching mine!

My God, my Jesus is kneeling in front of me -

My King!

The thundering of my heart deafens me.

I cry out, "Oh, my God!"

I sob - great shaking sobs.

Emotions well up and choke me -

I can't breath!

 

"Peace", softly whispered

 

All is calm

My heart beat slows and steadies.

I breath in His sweetness.

I am not afraid.

 

He wraps His arms around me

and pulls me close.

The softness of his robe is like down on a  bird's breast.

 

I listen.

I hear His heart beat.

Quick, joyful beating -
I am stunned!

 He is excited to see me!

It slows to a steady rhythm and

mine follows its beat.

 

From deep inside I hear a murmur

becoming a melody - a song!

All else quietens -

Heaven listens to the song of my King!

 

We are rocking gently,

My King and I.

He is singing over me -

Rejoicing over me.

Filling me with love, joy and peace,
 

We stay like this, lost in time.
All  worries, responsibilities,

fears, doubts, inadequacies vanish.

Only the Song remains!

 

The singing stops.

He helps up.

I feel his gentle hand under my chin

slowly tilting my face upward.

He's smiling!

His sparkling eyes filled with love!

They crinkle around the edges like I remember my

Daddy's eyes doing when he looked at me and Mom.

 

"I love you."

 He softly murmurs.

 

"You are my precious one."

He declares.

 

"You are mine -

now and forever!" 

He shouts joyfully!
