Upon an emerald carpet of meads, she genuflected with gathered grace

There are moments when I forget
To whisper a prayer of thanks I won’t regret
For all the joy and hope, sweet peace
The unending song of glory that won’t cease

All around me in a whirl
And yet, though it’s blinding
My eye’s fixed on a pretty girl

Never hidden in punchy illusion

until I am nothing more than a shadow
cast upon my wall
my sanity being exiled
by this dark master
dictating my steps

Near those flowers blooming with grace
I rest in shade and find a slower pace
Spring air has faded with the rain
Summer heat redoubled with pain
Winter stillness so far away

Love will find a way I'm told

  So many things he'll do
