more than gods can comprehend

I caught the poet before he left for the West Coast and asked if I could post this one. It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and I am told he is working on a studio acoustic musical version of it for the tour. I am not sure that the world is ready for that.

more than gods can comprehend

I wrote her words so she'd understand
the sinking weight atop the sand
but I am not given to move on.

I made my vows and paid a price
but that doesn't mean I will think twice
about wanting what I want and what I need.

because there's truth 'round every bend
and it would be a lie, my friend,
to bury and forget all that we've won.

It lives and grows, with scuffs and starts,
like fearless souls and loving hearts
until it signifies the two are one.

I will not fade or fall away,
and years from now you may just say
I think he had it right, I had it wrong.

so this is why I play this song
to hold the line and pray she bears my suit.
not playing cute
or holding back
I have to speak the perfect fact:

I love you more than Gods can comprehend.
