THE LONGING

All the years my mind is calm
No wind, no wisps
No mysteries,
Now dark skies,
The storm has come
To break my peace (deceptive)
The rumbling of thunder
The patter of rain
Beating a haunting song
It strikes me as lightning
This enchanted longing
A name at the tip of my tongue,
Ethereal and evasive
Yet cosmic, divine
I'm trapped and drenched in its charm

And now I know....

Afar, a figure I can't see
But I sense this person to be
Will guide me home, will take me shelter
into contentment, peace forever
A cosmic longing to be fulfilled
For my twin soul, my soul mate calling
