Out of the Mist

Like a spirit bathed in a soft warm light 
You stepped out of the ethereal mist. 
Your beckoning smile 
I could not resist. 

Your presence was overwhelming, 
And engulfing my senses, 
Shattering my world 
And destroying my defenses 

You reached out your hand 
And as I held it in mine, 
I felt the power of your glory 
And knew the meaning of divine 

Your touch was so tender
 It made my heart weak, 
My body felt limp 
And I could not even speak 

You looked deep in my soul 
With eyes so calm and so clear, 
Searching for my truth 
And all I held dear. 

You found my very essence 
And the core of my existence 
And with unyielding trust 
I offered no resistance. 

I gave myself freely 
With faith and with love, 
For I knew in my heart 
You were a being from above.
