Overtones

Allow me to confess how gratifying it is To see the rainfall of lights permeate through your eyes, Swirling lightening warmth into my own To see your thoughtful lips curve into a summer's beam We energize each other as our words fall like playful spring petals, Expressing our hearts' joys without grievance or complaint But with genuine feeling and mutual delight Fastened tight with love's newfound might Artistic minds mix, dispersing colors others barely fathom Upon the surface of their distracted rights, Their distant autumnal attentions Instead we dream, diligent of and in each other Reflective of a world that snows and blizzards Aware of the audience - the stars - that cry with glee in every climactic scene We rise For the sake of simply touching them Every heart that means to listen To such precious overtones The subtle and soft notes below and above the melody That make magic real, And the darkest souls hopeful I love to just watch you smile, To take in every glimmering feeling As they pass like seasons from dawn to sunset Our feelings change Our tunes build upon the ever growing masterpiece That is our very existence, Our union and our uprising of all that is life I love to trace the silhouette of your grace, To paint sounds and syllables where your eyes will accept them To embrace you with an assuring memory to hold forever We need not worry, For the melody of this beautiful life has long waited For the sustaining and blooming accompaniment That we master, savor, and make better My friend, my life, From dawn to dusk, And every trying night These overtones will resonate our legacy for all time
