Poem: So still this view, floating deep asleep
Murmuring wavelets tickle the sea in glee
Chanting safe passage granted this
Incognito dream

Deep as far below
Where forgotten mountains roar
Rocketing ever higher
Past peaks of grief and sorrow

Gasping for breath entranced
Drowning my life's pretense
I look upon this world
Bathed by Heavens glow
This sight, this I know
Wondrous a light
Fills my soul

I see your eyes transfixed to his
Cradling forever just one
This sun

So strong this bond no force can break
Who's quest is just, seals our fate

Gasping from death anew
Blinding all space with time
This vision I know is true
Our death to dust we must
Ignites all life we love...
