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

empirical shadows and beautiful light
