Under the seamless sapphire of the sparkling sky
my mind morphs into ornate vase of blooming vale,
carved out in chromatic contours by cheery cascades,
gliding through the bounty of blossom on wing of zeal.
Harbored in the stony shore of the boundless blue sea,
a lone pebble I roll relentless on tireless tides of time,
caressed by the serial surge of the incessant waves,
spreading endlessly on me with the plethora of pearl.
Under opulent sky’s celestial show of countless stars,
we sailed with soulful serenity on the river of fervor,
on interminate voyage to the estuary of eternity where
leitmotif of love from horn of your heart immersed me.
As cryptic clouds of gloom drift with sordid shadows,
in secretive silence of uncertain times of roiling turmoil,
a pensive pilgrim I’m sheltered in God’s promised land,
for I’m blessed with the cornucopia of His divine grace.
