A Song to the Beloved

I seek someone, but who is she?  
Or rather, who is She?

In the faces that go by, not a one --  
only inklings.

Then other times,  
when my heart and my eyes are clear,  
I stop, to dream unholy dreams.

And in such a dream  
my lover speaks to me:  
she makes the wind to be her voice.

Her eyes, like stars in the night sky,  
her hair a black moonlight  
that brushes my cheeks.

For she is that sky,  
that pale and somber moon.  
I call out to her in yearning pleas  
and through my open door she comes.
