There is a deep obscuring mesh
that covers me as earthy flesh
I yearn to know, to hold, to seek
the endless secrets that you keep
Does not a sailor's ocean way
Dream as you yield your yesterday
To gaze in light that's travelled far
ancient light of distant star
I look up now in earthly plea
and drink your eldest hungrily
Time and space bend paths you pave
perhaps they, too, your secrets crave
Hold me now in starry light
of deepest blue I see tonight
I realize now through poem penned
to beg your truth I am condemned
