Distant Rose

distant rose
so pure, so lovely
you hold such great majesty
as you alone
have me travel so far
i want to witness your beauty

distant rose
one day we will meet
i will kneel before you
and waft your fragrance in my face
it is not without you
that my purpose and life are one

distant rose
i pulse and breathe
that one day you'll be close at hand
i know not what i seek but you
you guide me

distant rose
to breathe you in
is all i care to do
to know your beauty
i will not be discouraged
that we will one day meet

distant rose
you make me whole
it is your beauty and fragrance
i can't be without
even from afar
you call to me
as if i were meant to know you

distant rose
you are my heart and my soul
i march on
to know you in all your glory
and so you can live on through me
