You lift me lightly from my dreams at dawn
As drapes in heaven part like blooming rose
Your kiss ignites my praise and so I yawn
And stretch my arms like faith your love bestows
Gihon Spring, I am your Pool Siloam
Your eucalyptus showers lave my flesh
Vocalizing praise like harpist poems
Anoint me in your oil as I dress
The world beyond this door resounds in toil
Vignette expands like pure impending doom
“Go out”, you say. “My plan may not be foiled”
“Daughter, the throne I give you must assume”
For such a time as this, you made me queen
So such a God as this, the world may glean
With Gratitude,
Salimah
