the sweetest lips and fairest skin
grace her face and I begin to swim
within the pool of blue, her eyes
for this love of mine there’s no disguise
I pause to think of her glance
am caught and trapped as in a trance
only freed when once her delicate song
brings me back to where I belong
feet rooted in soil so rich and dark
I sit thankful for the journey
                        for which I am to embark
‘tis this life we share that I write about
and the love we have for which there is no doubt
wishing only for this joy to be had by all
witnessing the tragic reality at the local mall
so many unhappy walking blindly through life
experiencing only hardship and strife
while us chosen few sit so high up above
because we trusted, had faith, and gained true love –
