My heart(sad forgotten he)
an opal in a riverbed.
Your voice is the water rushing,
wearing him down to the true surface
of wondrous, revealing flecks
of vibrant color.

Your eye is the sun set on
illuminated he, as so graceful you
reached down to hold a smooth, polished stone
(gently impressed upon your palm) my soul
that you, carrying for miles, cast
into your calm pool.

This peaceful only gently disturbed
by two golden fishes(gliding they)
beneath the reflection
of a thousand surrendering flowers
in love's exotically endless garden.

Love is my religion, I believe in nothing else.
To find that inspiration, live that inner vision.
Love is my religion...I believe in you.
