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
