In the Midst Ofall Things

in the midst of the garden
 so bright as the sun
 shining as the stars
  a beautiful flower
 
in the midst of the  cloud,
 so cool as the morning
 dazzling as the diamond:
 a dynamic star. 

in the midst of the air 
so fair as the bubble 
soaring like an eagle: 
a colourful buterfly. 

In the midst of all things 
so different in a million 
standingas a pillar:
a caring partner .

my love, oh my love 
the rock on which i am built, 
the pillar that holds my stucture:
and the flower that beautiies my life.
 
in the midst of all things 
you are the only one i see 
because you are so real to me
even in a misty city.

through the mist emerges a delightful song, full of love - the anchor of life is the bond between best friends and lovers - Alan
