Captive
The song was a dreamy muse
Captivating with misty arms
Reaching for submission
Taunting with mysteries of desire
It took captive the vulnerable
Demanding abode with a weary soul
The seduction was hypnotic
Words danced in unison
Thunderous claps heard for eons
Until… the light filtered the mist
The colors! beautiful colors
Filter through the doubt
The mist parted in blue
A rainbow set in the heavens
A reminder that there was
A place being built to rest
