Analysis of Changed Perspectives
When you carry your lover
pounds reduce to ounces
compared to another
When you visualize heaven
shadows fade in sunshine
fostered with a leaven
When you transcend agony
discords soon dissipate
achieved by harmony
When you attract attention
focus links with purpose
put up for intention
When you reject decadence
heartfelt values emerge
designed by excellence
When you discover fashion
panache settles on style
awakened in passion
When you ascend a summit
crowns appear as higher
judged for a benefit
