From the beginning of my life
I have been looking
for your face
but today
I have seen it
Today I have seen
the charm,
the beauty,
and the unfathomable grace
of the face that I have been looking for Today I have found you
and those who laughed
and scorned me yesterday are sorry they were not looking as I did
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty
and wish to see you with a hundred eyes
My heart has burned with passion
and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty
I now behold I am ashamed to call this love human
and afraid of God to call it divine
Your fragrant breath
like the morning breeze has come to the stillness of the garden
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstacy
Every fiber of my being is in love with you
Your effulgence has lit a fire in my heart
and you have made for me the earth and sky
My arrow of love has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart is a place of prayer
