In this momentry bliss
I am lost in the wonder
Of your welcoming kiss
The sweet joyous surrender
In the autumn of november
There is a taste in the air
Fluttering leaves a'falling
Colours of red and amber
In a sunset scene
Lost in a mesmerizing dream
A moment suspended in part
The wonders of thy glorious art
Yet a taste so sweet and tender
Of a world once known
And yet still shown
In these breathes of bounty
Where one wishes never to leave
Still deep in my melancholy heart
There is a joy that cannot be tamed
In an hour yet known
Or wonders yet seen
Shall awake as one lost in a dream
Of something long ago
Once familiar
Now returned
And ever shall be
A world of mystery
Revealed
Once winter's wonders
Have ceased
Come spring
And joyous dawn
The dew of which
We look upon
The day forevermore
When at once
Walk we through
That open door
The journey ended
Reunion sweet
When at last
Our lifelong love
Shall meet

So beautiful Josh! I love the beautiful descriptive words! It's a nice escape from a world which I feel often neglects the beauty in life. Thanks for reminding me of that beauty!
No worries Rachel! :) As I am often reminded, despite the ugliness in this world there is yet beauty that remains that must be captured and exposed to a world that has forgotten it, and that hope yet lies open for those who seek. For they surely will find it!
