It's a smile, pointed at me, dazzling bright with happiness
It's a word, encouraging and loving, exactly what I needed at that moment
It's a presence, fully there, a calming influence in a storm of chaos
It's ivory arms, wrapping themselves about me, reminding of all the good in the world
It's everything I need to help me find center and remember, this world is a good place.
Ocean breeze ruffling that curl
You know which one that I mean
The one that when you twirl it
Makes my heart jump in my chest
That when I get to play with it
Makes my whole body feel electric
Seeing it dance on that salt laden wind
As the reflection of the moon
Does it's own dance on the water
That is what beauty is truly about
Stone, hard and unyielding
But suggestive of a permanence
An indelible medium of expression
Have I found a version
Not cold and rough and solid
But soft, with an intrinsic warmth
Belying all that stone is
Carrying that strength and solidity
Through beautiful, pale arms
That wrapped around me
All feels right with the world,
The most beautiful sunsets contain a few clouds
The better to distribute the orange and purple hues
That make up evening's vibrantly woven tapestry
The best country roads have a few bumps and curves
Making the most of every moment you drive them
Feet and hands and brain experiencing the thrill
The best lives are interesting and exhilarating
Giving you the most incredible moments to learn
And enjoy as you tarry on through the tough spots
But yours, with all its twists and turns, brightens
Every day that I am along for the ride
