LONGING
Will I get in touch with you?
Get in touch with the core of your being?
A long lost touch that I so long for--
That now is beyond, the Unseen?
Will I ever see the light?
That used to shine once upon a time?
Those eyes that searched me long as much--
That blessed me with motherly, love divine?
Will I ever see the smile?
That lit your face when I arrived?
From distance long, longing within
To get in touch with your inner hive?
Will I get to hear your voice?
That echoed in dreams I heard at times?
When from you, I drifted apart-
Those chants and all your favorite rhymes?
Will I ever find you there---
Where none but me can only trace?
Will I ever be once again---
The child you loved, from Divine Grace?
