You Possess My Being
by Lani
I gaze at the vastness of the sky .....
       I can see your silhoutte
       traced on the silver lining of the clouds.

I walk by the sparkling shore .....
       I can hear your voice
       whispering with the rolling of the waves.

I climb up the high mountain .....
       I can feel your touch brushing my cheeks
       with the gentle blowing of the wind .....

I open the soiled pages of a book .....
       I can read your words
       written between spaces of those joggling phrases.

I listen to music seem vain and unharmonize ......
       but I can hear your soft tune
       rhyming mysteriously even with the clanging sounds.

I let myself lost in the chaotic crowd .....
       Yet still I can see your shadow
       watching my uncertain steps.

Where shall I go where your presence follow me not?
What shall I do - that my skin feels you not?
What shall I read where your words are unwritten?
What shall I listen so I can hear your voice not?

Unworthy and evasive creature though I am .....
       You dupe me, You love me,
       You reach for me, You possess me.

You are simply irresistible my Lord .....
       Your compassion is intoxicating
       Your life in me is transforming.

You are indeed great to possess me .....
       beyond words ......
       yes, beyond human words .....
