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.
