Do you remember what you said that day
How terrible you felt inside
When all those clouds of disappointment
Blew into your lovely skies

Your life could not get any worse
To yourself you sadly said
Because your glorious sun no longer shone
While lightning crashed ahead

Your teardrops fell like rain that day
Unnoticed in the downpour
Torrential streams from the blackest skies
One had ever seen before

One day your sun returned to shine again
Winds of disappointment changed
Your flowing tears glowed into a radiant smile
As your life’s direction rearranged

Now here you stand, downcast once again
Black cloudy skies moving in
Never give up looking for that sun of yours
To shine through those clouds again

Look yonder at the graceful misty suggestions
Delivering  a gentle welcoming gain
Evanescent, yet so remarkably memorable
Infused with the kiss of rain

A fine gossamer glaze of crystalline blue
Creates a jubilant rhapsody
Vigorously dancing within the rushing embrace
Of the passion, known as the sea

Flawless perfection, delicately fragile as porcelain
Unfaltering, lines of exquisite detail
Quietly content the eye  of the beholder
On a stately sensational scale

There is splendid comfort in the quiet of the offing
As the cherished waves rush ashore
Appealing to all of our tender hearts and minds
Compelling the joyful need for more

You lifted the veil between the worlds known by many
To walk a rarely trod path, chosen by few
While seeking to find an existence somewhere in between
Instead, you found a world with different rules

You were drawn in to a mysterious place of allure
Where the wolves howl at the moon
Paying homage to the glorious face of delight
While listening to the stars sweet tune

Each new corner you rounded brought sights anew
Sometimes frightening in their glare
As glowing eyes emerged from the brush in the forest
Revealing creatures from ancient nightmares

The glow of the moonlight brought visions so fair
Of maidens and knights on wild steeds
You watched in awe and wonder as they fell in love
And honor brought them to their knees

You walked further and further away from the world
Of which we all know and understand
Finding freedom to embrace the mysteries of life
Your imagination at your command

Now the time has come to return to this world
Which you know and understand well
Come enlighten us all with the tales you weave
Tell us all, what is under the veil
