On the crossroad of our life
The easterlies blew southward
And in the ever so sudden shift of the world
You began to shine your true color

Shades of yellow suddenly cowered
To an ocean of blue, deep and calm
Never knowing what laid after my eyes,
I thought you were the most serene view

For the life of me I could not guess
Why it seemed like paradise to me
When what lied after my view is your reality
What lied after my view is a chasm

In an unbounded, groundless dark trench
There's a chasm that gets deeper as I stare
On a serene ocean I finally felt your peace
The same peace I wish for you to be

Had it occurred to me a lot sooner
I could have realized; life mirrors art
Together we could have began--
Shining our true colors to the world
