Life Through My Eyes

Sunsets and full moons,

Raindrops on my face,

Crashing waves and Celtic runes,

In a state of grace.

Lightning dancing across the sky,

Crisp mornings on the mountain,

Watching the eagle fly,

Water sprinkling from a fountain.

The scent of a fire,

The glow of candle light,

The fog raising higher,

Everything feels so right.

Fields of flowers,

The shade of a willow tree,

Thunderous spring showers,

Getting things for free.

Take nothing for granted,

Take everything to heart,

Stay calm when life gets frantic,

Remember to look at love like a fresh start.

Together

You and I shall be together,
Though we may be miles apart.
For a distance is not measured,
By the faithful heart.
All throughout each shadowed night,
For your distant lovelight burning
Is my candlelight.
You and I shall be together,
Like the pearl-pale clouds on high.
When the silver moon is glowing
In the distant sky,
You and I shall be together.
For our distant thoughts of love
Are the lanterns of the heaven,
Hung in stars above.
You and I shall be together,
Though I may be far away.
For our hearts are dawn and twilight,
Fastened to the sky.
