Only In You I See

Tap dances on steps to sanctuary sites
glued to visions felt from glory's grace
only in you I see
reflected in orbs of watchful care 
dipped in mocha swirls 
as time slowly disappears
a sense of attention
focusing on more than just an outer me

Soft shoe shuffles within the breeze
wistful remembrance and dainty dreams
filling the fragrant air 
with a gust of evergreen
calling ever so calmly
for opened eyes and hearts
to harbor a frail humanity
and follow a simple way

So very beautiful Tim, when they focus on more than just what they see, they look deeper and understand, that is definitely a beautiful thing

sweet one, Tim. One part of it reminded me of the dancing scene in La La Land. did you see that movie. This kind of evokes some of the magic feelings like i got from that movie.
