Can I see it? Through the sphere of Mercury Ambitious but good-hearted souls Lovers in the sphere of Venus With desires like my own Profound philosophies Imperfect just the same Have been given loving refuge Because they believed in the light Love is why I seek you I find that love’s divine I’m asking can it be true? Does love mean seeing the light? Moving toward the empyreal light and angels all around me Am I worthy to see God? Seeing their lost souls in Hell remind me of my own transgressions Too impure to see the light Can my quest for love be enough to grant me my mercy? I’m in awe and afraid Beatrice hold my hand show me to the source of goodness I’m like one who sees in dream Dream is gone an impression remains Nothing comes to mind again Vision fails, sweetness born Still distills inside my heart Love that moves sun and stars Searching for love and finding light Searching for light and finding love If God is love and God is light Do we become God when we love? The quest for light is divine When we love are we then light?
