Purpose

I see night break

Into dawn every day,

The shadows disappear into light.

I lose my grip on dreams again,

Intoxicated in the reality of life.

The blue Illusion appears clearer

Till the sun burns into moonlight tonight.

Yet my thirst for love remains

To meet Your soul somewhere divine.

My soul burnt in flames of Love,

Tonight, I smile in peace.

I choose to give my love a name.

I dare to call it Devotion;

I vow to wait like a queen does for her king

Endless days and nights.

The wind doesn't whisper your stories anymore,

Decades have turned to eras,

Your name has faded in the oasis far away

Yet I waited to hear,

Hoping for You to show the way

To help my soul grow to reach Yours.

Oh, where have You gone?

Hidden yourself from me?

Why do you not see me burn

In the trance of Your Elixir of Love?

After decades of unfulfilled desires and suffering,

I give my love a purpose,

I guide my pen to stories of love,

And through them, I seek meaning every day

Almost like a prayer escaping my lips

Hoping to find You.
