Essence of Bliss

The moon is a light bulb….
When it’s enlightened with integrity 
It is like nightfall, bathing us with tranquility 
The buildings are stable with optimistic endurance
I trusted that your advice would take me far 
It sounded so wonderful like hearing good news from afar
You are thought-provoking and considerate
You’re a biblical scripture full of genuine perseverance 
I love the way you enchant me with your personality 
It has awesome style…you make me beam truly with glee
Stay here with me…
I want you to brighten up my gloomy day
Swarm around me, lovely spirit of empathy 
Maybe I’m just lost in paradise 
I see you in every dream I dream every nostalgic night
I mourn when you have to go…
Why does it have to be so?  
You look and sound familiar…are you sure we haven’t met?
I’ve somehow fallen for you too deep – you wanna bet?
You want proof? Wipe those bitter tears of regret
I have put too much pressure on you…
No wonder you feel blue…
But you are wearing a mask of contentment
How do you really feeling right now? 
Believe me when I say this:
You are fervent and you are the definition of love
I’ve been rather sensitive these days…
I never meant to hurt you 
I never meant to make you sad and mortified 
People need to watch what they say
They need to stop throwing at you insults 
I bet they hurt your feelings for a long time
I’ll charge at them like an angry bull, I’m as sour as a lime
Hey, is it me or is the sun out today to play?
Swarm around
Swarm around us
We need your love to restore in us hope and cheer
Just wait...and be patient with me, dear
Until the day He decides to give us a miracle or two
Maybe He'll make us a shade of orange, instead of blue
Or....maybe we're blue with calm bliss
We're not barreling in utter hopelessness
We'll survive this journey of hardships
Sorrow will not devour our childlike benevolence
We can do this! We just have to get up and try
Whatever we go through in life will make us stronger as an individual
Our bond is so unbreakable...it's so unusual...
Especially in this world today
Full of divorces, sadness, break-ups and dismay
Stay vigilant, positive and brave
Don't be as silent as the grave  
We need your company right this instant
You always find a way to astound me…
Forget our past wrongs and downfalls 
Swarm around us
All around us…in every single angle
You need to know that you are as remarkable as a guardian angel
Swarm around us
With your sun rays, boost up our confidence
So we can sing in harmony with blissful essence
