In the Land of Light

When I tell you that I love you I mean it like NO other It does not come from my mind nor my heart   But from deep within my soul I love you with the innocence of an infant and the playfulness of a child Like the daydream of a teenager and the content in a woman's smile It's a love that grows within me every time I meet your gaze A love that embraces and binds me in so many different ways A love that sparkles on the river like the sun could only get brighter As breathtaking as the waterfalls which make discomforts lighter A love that has the power to make the forests much more greener That illuminates the ocean and makes all melodies sound sweeter A love that views the night sky more magical than it seems That allows me to fall asleep and have the most enchanting dreams A love that puts me at ease and gives me peace of mind It encompasses all of my beliefs and strengthens my bond to the Divine This love in its entirety was not even portrayed above As there is no earthly way to even begin to describe my love  I cannot say that I will love you forever, as that is a time to measure  In the place that I truly love you, time does not exist It is in the land of light where only this love subsists
