A star from afar

Beneath the rippling waves of every kind,
I had a glimpse in my mind
of a woman so lovely,
she's almost holy.
May be I am too lonely,
a mere reflection
of my longing self,
thought I with a sigh.
But there she was
a star from afar
growing bright
by every night
within me and without,
to love and to be lost
in herself within myself
to time and to the world.
