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.
