Deep into the eyes of heaven I stare,
Singling out colors as they form in the air.
Reds, greens, blues come out of nowhere,
As water droplets are caught in the suns glare.

Frantically running towards this brilliant pleasure,
I desperately seek to find its hidden treasure.

There it lies shimmering before me,
Its radiant beauty spanning as far as I can
see.
The cool, wet mist caresses my face,
My arms extend, reaching for its grace.

"Can it be?! Am I finally here?"
Opening my heart as I wipe away a tear.
I thank the "Lord" as I look to the skies,
As I am reminded of nothing, but the beauty in your eyes......
