Design for a House

In my love I would build
You a house.
Its north wall will be God,
Its south wall will be God,
East and West you shall be
Walled with God.
You will need to fear no storms
From the North.
Your south shall be a sunny wall.
Dawn will stand for you,
A wall of ivory, glowing into gold.
Your west shall be a pearl on fire.

In my love, I would give
You liberty,
Confining you only in the infinite,
I would call you up in the
Beauty of God
In the reach and range of God.
I can think of nothing better
I could do for you,
Than build you a house out of my love.
