Goddess of light
Giver of wisdom
You are the North star
         of my soul.

I've searched the worlds
of beauty and chaos
          for you.

From life time to life time,
star to star,world to world,
through torrential storms,  
great wildernesses and
primitive civilizations.

I've passed through them
all in search of you and
at times you were just a
memory - a previous
fragrance embraced -
and that was enough
          for me.

Onward I went into countless
unknowns always in search
          of you.

I fashioned a piece of visual
poetry that held my most
essential memory of you
and I cast it into the inner
and outer universes as a
beacon...a homing beacon.

If only you would see it,
I prayed, it would let you
know that I am here for
          you.

You saw my poem and
you quickly pulled me
          to you.

Lost in love I've returned
to my beloved sweet
          embrace.

The trails were long and
storms were great, the
missions were meaningful,
but nothing compares to
           you.

Again we have found one another across the vast illusion of
          separation
