Just Your Face

Futile is the sun to a heart in awe
And trivial is the moon's cosmic fame

All these voices are nothing but noises 
These Flowers are like invisible stars

For what's it that the universe contains 
Nothing... but your face to keep me sane 

Only your voice brings exceptional joy
Only your lovely smile can make me fly

The initial couplet is perfect! It should be carved in stone for the ages. The rest seems a bit vague and untidy to my mind, but might be fashioned into a masterpiece given proper love and attention. But that's just like my opinion, dude. Be well!

Nice contrasts between the things that don't satisfy and the one thing that does. "Only your lovely smile can make me fly" is such a beautiful line. Congratulations on your POTW acknowledgment ~ John
