Caress Of Piety

His arms envelop me

with serenity's grace,

as my soul warms to the light

of His purest love.

I am guided by

His everlasting word

and to view creation's virtue

is to see through His eyes.

Iniquity's hand cannot penetrate

these many blessings,

for I am steadfastly stroked

by clemency's hand.

PROMPT:

I’ve never had the pleasure of looking into his/her eyes or holding his/her in my arms and yet he's/she’s touched me like I’ve never been touched before.
