Lion's breath

I have longed
in the very depths of my heart
to see You face to face
to let my gaze meet your beautiful eyes.
Will I even be able to stand
in the presence of Your majesty?
As I stumble towards You,
ever hesitant
my body trembling with fear and desire
You are the only thing that has ever
come near to satisfying me.
That I would reach out a shaking hand
holding my breath
as you hold my gaze
goodness radiates from you
but yet, there is a sense of danger
You could devour me in a moment
but as I do what I have longed to do
ever since I first heard of you
and press my hand in Your mane.
And everything in me is consumed by Your perfection
Like standing in the warmth of the sun
you are bathed in light--radiant.
And your heartbeat radiates within me
as my own meager heart beats in time.
This feeling, is so overwhelming
and I, I am so undeserving
as I lift my eyes to meet your gaze
you are not disappointed by my size
my weakness, my stupidity, my inadequacy
instead, with your majestic gaze locked on mine
you do the unexpected;
Pressing your nose to my forehead
you breathe on me
with the music of you breath.
All the fear, sorrow, pain, and darkness leave
there is only your light beaming from within me.
All I know in this moment,
is that I am yours, though you are not mine
you are not tame, you are free
but all I want is to belong to you
and feel your breath for eternity.
