Alone to Zen

Alone with my longing

Broken and unaware

Change was so close

Disguised in a stare

**

Everything around me

Faded in your eyes

Glowing like starlight

Heaven in your smile

**

Inspiration overtook me

Just like a muse

Killing my fear

Letting hope loose

**

My soul awakened

No longer asleep

Opened to hold you

Pulsing with need

**

Quivering anticipation

Ringing in my ears

Set me in motion

Took me from my chair

**

Unsure what to say

Verbose is not me

With wine I arrived like

Xi to the sea

**

Your love for twenty years is the

Zen that fills me!!
