I Only Want to Know You

I Only Want to Know You 

The curtain is pulled back, 

way back, open wide, 

the blinders removed 

from my refreshed eyes. 

I see You again, 

Your Holy welcome 

sends chills coursing 

through my veins 

awakening to You. 

I realize it is not You 

who has been away, 

nor where I have been 

matters not, only being

here now with You. 

My want is awash 

in crystalline clarity,

I only want to know You.
