I could fly the lighted world of dreams
that send escalades to dance upon their rays
Towers I saw of golden nights stand
That completes my passion upon this land.
Once I thought I could simply pass away
from praised hopes of my mothers eyes
To simply give in to this world of pain
was a choice once I made for safety's sake.
Yet now I see the beauty within
my hearts content of dreams begin
With a shape of a hand from afar
and meanings worth more to me I saw.
As I stand at destinys quite door
and find it open for only I to see
as choices I made do pain my soul
I understand my furtures worth,
       and it is worth it all.

I can see your future so clearly Michael.  Lately it is shining from you almost as much as your heart, my friend.  They both look perfect to me......
