I Looked Beyond

I looked beyond and saw that pleasant smile, So powerful, yet I looked away in a while; Those low sunk eyes and its lashes long and free, They looked at me; they looked so deep to see; There was so much more, so much more inside, That made me shy; oh it made me run and hide; To a place so close, so close to you it be, That purest heart, the purest it was to me; And I looked beyond and looked beyond to find, That your smile had found its place to my heart and mind! I looked beyond and saw those skillful hands, So loving, yet I moved along the sands; Of times ahead, of times so near and past, Just to let it go, so far away too fast; And then I knew, I knew it belonged to you, And waited much, to know it was but true; That you were here; you were here in all of me, To make me mine and make me fine and free; And I looked beyond and looked beyond to feel, That the hands, they touched my heart so dear to heal! I looked beyond and saw you coming near, So near it was, that my soul sank deep in fear; Those vibrant words and its manly sound so loud, They swept their way to a space inside the cloud; To clear its way, to bring my soul above, So tall and strong, and fill its walls with love; Those moments new, those moments clear and high, They made me feel, they made me rise and fly; And I looked beyond so much beyond to know, That so close you came; I would never let you go!
