Overwhelmed

Tidal waves the size of mountains 
Crashing depth to steal my breath, 
Fragility washed on foreign shores 
Where footprint beaches lie. 
Bands of gold in silver fountains, 
Garland sprays with gemstone stars, 
Singing blood through nuclear cores, 
Jet plane thoughts fill jet black sky. 

Immense, the mind can barely hold 
The dream so vast within the skull, 
Feelings swell with fortitude, 
Build fortress clouds above. 
We are young and will grow old, 
Such power we cannot resist, 
Together in this magnitude, 
Forever with this love.
