Lost and alone, confused and afraid
Not knowing what lay ahead
I searched my heart for His love and His aid
Guiding me to the path I should tread
When receiving the letter, emotions ensued
Joy mixed with heart stopping fear
The plane ride alone, a test of fortitude
The end of my Search drawing near
Traveling closer, overwhelmed and alight
No thoughts could enter my brain
That black and gold gate, a soul stirring sight
A moth in Love with a flame
Setting foot in the land of the lovers I saw
The reasons for all that had passed
Recognition and thankfulness filled me with awe
And a Knowledge of love eternal and vast
I walked down the path at one with His essence
Seeing Him in the stones and the trees
Detaching from self, my souls’ transcendence
Embraced by His Uniting breeze
As I walked through that historical gate
My soul was radiant with joy
The lack of shrouding and veils bade me wait
And with Contentment, I gazed at His Glory
With every step forward a new sight beheld
Each breath filled with awe and with trust
Lost in His Oneness all “sanity” quelled
In the whirlwind of Wonderment thrust
As I open that door, the self’s left behind
I breathe and my soul’s set aflame
All that’s left is His love, to the world I am blind
Poverty and Nothingness, my claim
