From the moment I walked in this realm
I reached out for you but only now I can see you
Only now I can see you, feel you, with your good looks, the charming smile, and
your mysterious ways of grace by the face in the mirror that I reached out for
Now I’ve found you and only now I see you
and those who laughed and despised me the days before
feel sorry now for they were not reaching
out as I did
***
I am mystified by the former
glory of your goodliness and linger in the sun of noon
trying to cast a glance at you it feels as if with numerous eyes
in the glistening light
I tremble while you look at me my heart beating with a burning purpose of a union
has searched so long and now I behold you, delightsome sweetness
I love you I am ashamed not at all
for I know you are divine
***
Your beguiling aura as fresh as the gentle breeze in the evening sky has become silent, walking on beds of roses
Your fragrance refreshed me with this feathered thing
I am sun-drenched by you as I am shrouded by your shadow But now that I’ve seen you I am the same to you
***
My soul shouts for joy, exuding prayers of gratitude into the realm of being
I am in love with you as I am loved by you What gift for every fiber of our beings You are burning in my heart being a shelter for you for me the wind beneath my wings a place of prayer earth and sky merciful reminding me of my love’s purpose
