A soul alone, seeking solace.
Bewildered by the corruption of life.
Long on the quest for affection thought never to be found.
Finding seclusion and peace in the valley of serenity.
A spirit no longer yearning but fulfilled to gaze at the mountains.
To luxuriate in the soft radiance of light cast off by others affections.
Content to observe, frightened to partake ever again.
Suddenly pitched into the lucent light of love.
A gentle touch, a soft caress from another soul.
Persuading and inducing my soul to sing and revel in the light.
To ascend to the illumination on the mountain.
You are the Guardian of my soul, you hold the key.
It shall remain in your care, never to be passed on.
I have truly fallen into you, you are the beat of my heart, the air I breathe.
You are my love as deep as the deepest valley as high as the highest mountain.
You are the keeper of my soul!
