How do I connect

How do I connect
When ere the vein 
In me infect 
The soul to win

So I begin begin begin
My story here it is
With lifted eye

And raised brow
Or slide of hand
To fall how shall I
Find without within

Out of my mind
Out of thy gaze
The haze of that
I cannot praise 

The glazed fear
That somehow 
Lost the words
In prayer

Surrender them
Remember them
No more must I
Adore in them

How now must I 
Engage with them
When all I know
Is praise of them

So now my idol
Gaze again
Cannot enough
To see within

How must I here begin
How must I start anew
If I connect how shall
I then without this

Festering fear
Somehow I have 
Again become
The thing I longed

To cast aside
So now give me
The eyes to see
And ere the mind

Of mystery
And love that
Seek not of it's own
But longs to bring

A pilgrim home
No more alone
No more deny
Thy love shall be

The true connection
To heal the heart
And seal the vein
No more shall it betray
