To Know You From the Inside

To know you from the inside

To feel that which you feel

Will give me all your wisdom

And make all passion real.

I'll put myself in places

Where you have been, and still,

I look at all the traces

Of where you've been. I will

Internalize your goodness

And make it part of me;

Your every thought and mood is

My own, and mine will be -

Your talent, inspiration,

The life that you have known -

Thought and imagination

And beauty that you've shown -

Will live within my heart, and

Lead me into the light -

Chash barriers apart and

Merge into day - and night -

The beauty of your spirit,

Your tenderness of heart -

Be mine, and have no fear of

The mind that falls apart

Before your precious splendor

And elegance and warmth -

Who loves? Who will surrender

And tap into its force?

Who will reach into clouds?

Who will the truth impart?

Who'll bless or shout out loud

Or climb into my heart?

I seek the truth and wisdom

And knowing what I've heard

I'll feel you from the inside

And in it find the world.
