When was delight lost in sunset and obliterate skies
Your face among them all
In its radiance washing over as the covering of all things pure
The touch of stellar hands bring life where shadows reside
And the aroma of sweetness like laughter fills the air
Dancing on the lips of this majestic being
Beauty where not such a word exists to be put on your crown of humility
You were the sky
Bring birth to our moon where dreams play
And sing us to slumber
When eyes have gazed upon and gathered
Overwhelmed with emotions
Turning like an oceans jubilee
I’ll hold you here forever in secret
Hidden among the trees
Illuminate with expectance and the joy of your presence
Your spirit is forever reaching in
Grabbing hold of the most sacred
I am yours
Whistles among the branches sing of you appearance
Framed within my mind
Where you will always be
