Captivated

I am standing at the throne of God

Submerged in the Light of His power

And the beauty of His love

My heart feels what I had never felt

Before—I am in love

Truly in love

Every day I fell in love

With the beauty around me

With anything and everything

He is teaching me to dance in

His throne room, swinging and laughing

Singing and skipping, I pledged my heart to Him

I was alive—Walking was dancing to me

Every day was a story book

Every talk, a song

The sun was always there

And on some days, there were clouds too

But ever was the sun shining

He smiled as He took my hand

The King of Kings allowing me to glide

Across the floor—in His perfect waltz

“Will he always dance with me, as You do?
The One You are preparing for me?”
I giggled at our long awaited dream

He but smiled, always answering

Me with, “Love is patient, my child,
Your Knight is almost ready”

He told me He is cultivating this

Knight into the perfect dream

A dream we have whispered secrets about

He has sung to me the plan

He has for me; the One who will one day

Hold me, is also waiting for me

But my dance is not finished,

He is teaching me how to dance

For the day I will meet this Knight

The array of our one-two-three

Rhythm was for the purpose of Him

Teaching me to follow and my Knight to lead

He swings me across the floor

And my eyes catch a glimmer

A glimmer of nothing in particular

He notices my glance

And whispers again to me

“Look towards Me, baby”

I grin and He winks

My heart knows He is working

And His heart knows my desire

Days fly and Summer soars through

He takes my hand and walks with me;

He is my everything

As our music starts to play

The King led me to our starting spot

Our waltz begins

Just as every time before, we glide across the Floor

However, this time, He starts to slow

And my attention is caught

There he stood, as I danced with the Father

He was playing with the Son

And then I saw his smile

He beamed with the Light of Joy

And played with the Beauty of the Muse

He was a Knight I had never seen

The King stilled our dancing to a stop

And this Knight looked up,

Every piece of him shined

The King and His Son giggled

As our introductions were made;

Before I knew it, I was whisked away

“Who is he?” My heart asked

Of my King,
He but smiled and said, “Look towards me, Baby.”

So I did

I was then taken away,

To the other side of the Throne

We danced and danced,

And then the worship began

Singing and singing, my heart brightened

The King gently opened my eyes the vision

I saw, was nothing I could describe

This Knight was worshipping with the Light of Day

He smiled with eyes shut

And swayed as if nothing else mattered

He was truly in love

Again, I was whisked away

“Who is he?” My heart cried,

The King said nothing, just simply smiled

Dancing beneath the Stars

One night, He knew what was in

My heart before I even spoke

“You wonder about this

Knight, you saw?”
His eyes were gentle and His heart warm

I did not even need to speak

Before His smile

Began to spread

I felt deep within my heart

The familiar words He had always spoken

Yet this time, in a different light

“Love is patient, my child,
Your Knight… He is

Almost ready”

Contentment, I had never felt

As wonderfully before, than in this moment

Also a peace that my Knight, I will see

Days fluttered by, Dance after dance,

He was feeling my excitement

With each passing step

Every night as we would

Look up to the stars

I felt us getting closer and closer

“But who is he?”

My heart would ask

Patiently, He would listen

In response to my

Every prayer, He brought this Knight

Into my life

Even among questions and reasons,

Sudden distance and doubts

Only Your peace remains

Starting with nothing but Hello

And such a short time later

A sweet friendship was made

Smiling and laughing

Beneath the stars and rain

The essence of joy

Dreaming and dreaming

I could never have

Matched even a piece of you

Sunshine and Innocence

The brightest light among the stars

but not just that: You also love Him

You love the One who loves us

Teaches and saves us

The One who give us the lives we live

The One who composes

The symphonies of breath

And the key of our song

He created you

Knitting you together

With the hands of an artist

You have the heart

Of a Prince, and I

Am your Princess

I watch you from here

And you watch me from there

The King cultivating our every move

Then, with His prompting

You walk towards me

And I am captivated

The King and His Son

Holding either of our hands—

Stepping up to me, we feel Their joy and blessing

Just then, you lift your hand

And ask

“May I have this dance?”
