It Came Undone

Might i say,
that you light up my life 
each and every day. 

You take mere living, 
mere getting by, 
to the mountain, 
to the other side. 

You see that I see inside of you, 
a girl that changes night to blue, 
a blue that sparkles comes alive 
and darling that talk ain't no jive. 

And yes like me 
you can be wrapped up
in the darkest Night 
that drowns a playful pup, 

beyond that noise, 
that dark
those cares
your spirit soars 
unawares
soars from planets, 
yes through the air 
and lands anew 
beyond somewhere.

And sings a most delightful song,
a song that has me 
dancing all night long; 

a song that rattles 
within my heart
and brings to life 
the most beautiful art;

Yes you help me rise above
And inspire in me, 
a word, a dove

A dove that flies 
from here to there
A dove that soars into 
The thinnest air 

A dove that writes 
upon the sky
A tale of love 
that knows not why

A tale of love 
that rings so true
And brings a girl 
to sparkling blue

And brings a boy 
dancing along 
Within his heart 
a most delightful song.

And soon so soon 
You'll fly to me
Through the night
Across the sea

And land then 
On a distant shore
And your heart 
Can then be cradled 
Once more

And not just cradled
Or hugged you see
But held so high 
That you will climb
The highest tree

And it won't be only
That your body 
Will rise
Your mouth will too
From side to side

And now I must 
Leave
depart

I thank you
For bringing out
In indelible art

That gives my 
Heart my soul
My life

A world to see 
beyond
The strife

A world so different
From that we see
And I'll join you 
Far up 
In the trees.

I love you
