I Have Seen Her Shadows & I Am Still Unafraid...



In my black & white world,
she is a colourful blaze /
 

A vision of beauty
I cannot erase.
 

Behind closed lids,
we all see lightning flashes /
 

but nothing comes close to
those exquisite eyelashes.
 

In every road and every path,
her smile I still see /
 

I'm all at once lost and found,
trapped & yet free.
 

Since I met her, my every season is now Spring.
 

And I have a feeling
that all will be alright /
 

And when I sleep now, in my dreams
I am alone,

yet I'm blessed with perfect sight.

A new Year, a new Me, a new set of Wings /
 

I contemplate love,
and other silly things.
 

I contemplate love
& the freedom it brings.
 

I contemplate love...
 

And my heart...
 

Silently...
 

Sings.
