A Poem to Mary Magdalene, Who the Angels Kept Alive

I know now, you are well,
Ne'rmore on the sea.
Ne'rmore in that cave
With angles to feed thee.

I know now, you are blessed.
Ever beholding His face.
Ever hearing His voice,
In His heavenly place.

I know now, you are smiling
Without anxiety,
Without any threat;
Perhaps, smiling down at me.

I know now, you still live
Not just in glory above,
But also in me
With all the Master's love.

-Lisa D. Ely
If Love Be Bondage

If love be bondage,
Let bondage be.

For my soul's desire 
Is to be with Thee.

Place Thy chains upon me,
The chains of joy and bliss:

And complete now my bondage
With a vow and a kiss.

If love be bondage,
Let bondage be.

For life can be no
Sweeter without Thee.

-Lisa D. Ely
Break My Heart In Two

Break my heart in two.
It is no longer one but twain.

Break my heart in two,
And behold love's stain.

Break my heart in two.
Just more to love thee for.

Break my heart in two.
I will forgive and love thee more.

Break my heart in two,
To see what God my see.

Break my heart in two.
God will mend and restore me.

-Lisa D. Ely
