Beautiful
Gentle and soft
Like springtime snow
Upon these hours incredulity
Lays my dazed being
Warm up this breast!
Wake me up and put me to sleep!
Never let me fall!
You’re growing in light
Dazzling like the sunshine
And inside me
Feeling blooming seeds
A bath of dew
Fresh, luxuriant water
A feast of rays and fires
Stunningly true
Beat of a heart!
Unaware magic
To surprise and make joy
A world most greedy of tears
And sad sluggish souls
You are a miracle
Son of mine!
The universe
Celebrates your eyes
A stunned angel is caressing you
If ever my breath will stop
You’ll never be alone
