Oh You Beautiful Thing!

Oh you beautiful thing,
how I have longed for you,
in my joys,
in my sorrows,
in the places where they mixed,
and made me who I am.

Oh you beautiful thing,
how my memories have made it this far,
without you,
devoid of your joyful song,
the armies of uncertainty march on,
an eastern ache in a western land.

Oh you beautiful thing,
how defenseless you help me become,
how charming your deviation from reality,
how simplistic your approach,
that unties knots inside my soul,
which I never could..

Oh you beautiful thing,
you remind me of,
a child’s smile in it’s eyes,
a woman’s lips with a lover intertwined,
you remind me of,
how we all unite somewhere,
unbroken,
unshaken,
echoing into eternity
