I’m older now, br So much older now br That she has found me br Than when first she sought me. br br I’ve drifted through centuries br Like a dream returning br Night after night, br I’ve made my way br Through landscapes of innumerable days br Along the reincarnation highway. br br An ancient priestess at the temple br For a wedding of a friend br Offered me a perfumed handkerchief br With directions for a rendezvous br With the mistress of my soul br In the secret night. br br Destiny was distinctly calling br With the alluring voice of a songbird; br The weariness of my wait br Was coming to a positive conclusion. br Every being must wander the forest of immense time br Until he is united with his intended.
