I reached for my cheeks

and I reach for something more

beyond the wilderness,

a smile that cuddled me

visits my heart in

the truth of light

where happiness knows no bounds

With my head upon your lap,

I can hear the songs of the hail

and the ice,

and this strange feeling

blesses me with humility,

tamed more than the ice,

cooler than frost,

touched by the wisdom I've found

my mind does not fathom

or try to fathom,

what seems to it a fallacy,

by becomes buoyant in the oceans of fantasy

my mind wanders

and my heart declares

with a radiating conscience,

It is the power of my heart

that enstrengthens my spirits

and tends my wounds

and puts strength in my muscles

to protect the one

and could smite the whole world to see,

due to the monarchy

of my heart

and the witness of my eyes,

there is no one more to see

but my love,

one who makes my heart

twirl in the ballet of wonder.
