SO IMMEDIATELY AM I STRUCK

 

so immediately

am I struck

by the incision

of your thought

 

It penetrates

the core of

my being

 

and speaks volumes

to me of light and dreams

and love and hope and peace

 

but I was

too blind to follow

but I was

too deaf to listen

 

My eyes were open

but I did not see

My ears were open

but I did not listen

 

and now the clarity

of vision

has penetrated

to the core of my soul

in spite of it all

 

I now see

I now hear

 

I listen intently

to the pulse 

of your heartbeat

 

I can understand now

what mere moments ago

I could not

 

The words you speak

sink to my heart

and I listen carefully

the pearls of wisdom

 

I can now see clearly

the light in your eyes

leading down the tunnel

to your soul

 

and I can only

find your soul

by allowing you

to find mine

 

Desperate for purity

in thought and emotion

I find I must follow you

on the path you travel

 

I find I must follow you

I find I must follow you
