Poezja

I’ve seen the waves of the sea pound
Against the rocks, chiseling a message for ages yet to come.
Yet its power is diminished when I look at you.
 
The wind issues forth. The very breath of God
Seeking a resting place yet finds none.
As my heart goes out to you and is never satisfied.
 
The sun by day and the moon by night
Chasing then fleeing in the dance of time
They will grow weary long before my love for you.
 
I’ve soared through the heavens and noted
The mountainous peaks in the clouds beneath me
I’ve flown with the creatures of the sea, a beauty seldom seen  

Still, nothing on this Earth, above or below
Captures me like the beauty I behold when I look at you.
