"Every prayer, every second"


from the ABC set Transparent mirrors.

The many times I have prayed,
Every second became a decade,
As I uttered these words,
That flew out like musical birds,
And scanned every inch of the sky,
For anything more beautiful than your eyes,
Anything more blissful than your laugh,
But there was nothing, not even half,
Of the value your smile holds,
Like a rose which unfolds,
In the warmth of the sun’s touch,
The strength and meaning of such.

There was never a story, a song or a poem,
That spoke of such freedom,
That I feel when I gaze into your heart,
No such music has ever been composed by Mozart,
No such poetry has ever been written by Homer,
No such love has ever,
Been discovered by one man,
From the moment time began.

The happiness for which I have always prayed,
Turned every second into a priceless decade,
Of this glorious journey which is love,
This priceless gift sent down from above...
