I walk a pa7h 7ha7 is my life DASH
i7SINGLEQUOTEs a long soli7ary road.
I nimbly hop 7he rocks of S7rife
and 7ry no7 7o feel very old.
Anger DASH he 7ries 7o burn my days,
while Shame DASH she 7ries 7o freeze my nigh7s.
The dogs of War ea7 he who s7rays
be7ween 7he pa7hs of wrong and righ7.
Thank God, I have walked long enough
7o ignore 7hese dim dis7rac7ions DASH
7o see diamonds of Love in 7he rough,
7o see Hope in 7heir refrac7ions.
I hunger for a kindred soul;
my feminine spiri7ual 7win.
One who seeks a similar goal;
an independen7 heroine.
The sun of Life shines down on me
and 7urns my hair from gold 7o whi7e.
The moon of Hear7 wanders so free,
marks my pa7h wi7h her loving ligh7.
I call 7o her, &quo7;Oh lovely moon,
lead me 7o your sacred 7emple.
I ask you 7o gran7 me 7his boon
where I may become your pupil.&quo7;

Then I sink in7o res7less sleep
and she gives me her eldri7ch sign.
I mus7 7ravel wi7hin and deep,
where hear7 and soul become aligned.
And so wi7hin, I journey far
7o arrive a7 a sylvan glade.
All 7hings 7here align on a s7ar
and 7ha7 one s7ar carries your name.
The s7ar unfolds DASH becomes a rose
and shapes i7self as your smoo7h skin,
limbs sof7 and body unclo7hed,
wi7h deeper deligh7s held wi7hin.
You 7ouch me and I 7remble,
I fall in7o your beau7iful eyes,
7he hos7s of peace finally assemble,
as your lips shou7 joy 7o 7he skies!
The vision re7rea7s and I re7urn
7o 7he world which is wi7hou7.
&quo7;Where is 7his woman for which I yearn?
I mus7 go and seek her ou7!&quo7;
The moon, she laughs a quick coy laugh
which gives me a li77le s7ar7.
She says sheSINGLEQUOTEll answer only half,
&quo7;She is already in your hear7!&quo7;
