- a One Way Ticket -

Hills come alive with sweet sounds of birds whistling tunes Filled with harmonious peace, you sail within time Gentle whispering winds through branches of trees call When you dare to take the first step forward Everything feels so easy embracing such beauty Mixing voices of nature talk deeply flowering Thrown into the unknown life is truly magical A universe inside feelings explode in one gift The soul eclipsing delight warmed with sunshine rays Like a virgin being on guard of the tiger claws, lions, bears and snakes Only when your starlight kisses clouds evaporate Time continues and the butterfly waltzes freely once more Crossing paths in this journey new beginnings grow Small wild strawberries threaded upon a stem beg to taste Opening one gateway within thoughts Setting sail into another world beyond With you salt of the ocean waves rise and fall Upon rocks kissing pillar of strength A cool breeze says goodbye upon your cheek Loving spices land this boat on paradise sands where gold sparkles warm beams When we meet at Heaven's gate batting lashes close entering a doorway into a dream Written by L.

Given a 7, complimenting the style and enchanting phrases, I see Liam's footprints all over the place.
