Window to my Soul

There is a wistfulness within my soul,

like a longing,

like a yearning,

One, I cannot fathom,

For it sears its flame within me.

Wasn't I a child once,

Eager in my thirst for learning,

Wasn't I beautiful once,

Youthful, fresh as spring,

Wasn't I in love that time,

The day you set my heart racing.

I wished deep in my heart,

To see the might of this world,

Where wonder and awe,

Never resides,

But awakens a longing,

Within this soulfulness of mine.

Wasn't I alive once,

When you made my heart leap,

At the gentleness of your touch,

At the tenderness of your smile,

At the softness of your voice,

That day.

I came alive,

Body and Soul.

Wasn't my steps aligned with yours,

When I walked where footsteps breathe their existence,

I danced to the wind chimes,

I sang to the silence in the rain,

I walked every distance,

Until you came to make my claim.

There is a wistfulness deep within me,

It bears a voice,

Not mine but Yours.
