Love's Blue Finesse
I capture light with graceful flow,
sweep tiny dust motes as I go,
my mind is up there and below,
Heaven's soft glow, Heaven's soft glow.
In the spirit's warm steady song
I push cool notes where they belong:
to be in beauty's magic; strong,
you're brought along, you're brought along.
Simplicity sets loose a sigh,
as I flutter inside your eye,
waves of hello grin at goodbye,
Angels now cry, Angels now cry.
In such gorgeous clouds I catch sight
of a brilliant bright golden light,
with awe I bless the day and night,
God's face alight, God's face alight.
A vision to behold in dreams,
wonderful wise majestic scenes,
I want to stay within these themes,
but can't it seems, but can't it seems.
Back to the pillow's smooth caress,
feather touched my soul screams out yes,
I yawn, I stretch and then I bless,
love's blue finesse, love's blue finesse.
O' I know now that I exist,
and clench life tightly in my fist,
with a sure fast flick of my wrist,
rainbows are kissed, rainbows are kissed.
