The Enshrining of Xanadu

She crawled into her memories to leave her loneliness
For one who gave to her a passion she has never known
Alone she stood beyond the wide, wide world and dreamed obsessed
Within her mind and by a life of flesh and blood and bone
As kisses from the very breath of beauty in despair
Gave reason for her to embrace and cry her thoughts for him
For every hope within the whispers of a perfect prayer
So spiritually her confidence had seemingly un-dimmed
That road which gave the promise of an everlasting love
And never trembled nor eroded by what she once knew
Within the one who she had so persistently thought of
And so from twilight to each day she longed for Xanadu
