In a mirage I stand so tall that my reflection
Glistens across the oceans of fear
That no boundary will hold my dreams in reality
For the energy within me will traverse the far corners
Of all the universes of sight and mind

That my inner beauty will strike out and conquer all
And in my caress all will heal in God’s light
Into a hug of humanity that would send the angels smiling
Into a chorus of tears raining down on us in blessings

Oh what a mirage words can bring
To elevate me to a plain that my words cast spells
To enter the dark corridors of those possessed in blindness
Into gardens that angelic dew drops sparkling in the diamonds of the mind

Yes let me dream of contributing a smile to urban sprawl
For one second in any time
Then my blossoms can whither away in self worth
In the compost of lost memories

         "That my inner beauty will strike out and conquer all
          And in my caress all will heal in God’s light
          Into a hug of humanity that would send the angels smiling
          Into a chorus of tears raining down on us in blessings"

Beautiful phrasing throughout Dave ... there is no question that you contributed to this smile I have upon reading this delightful piece. Very well done.

Best wishes,
/Kit
