…of your eyes

There is no greater beauty
to behold
in heaven, nor on earth
than I see, as I gaze
as I fall
into the depths of your eyes

shades of blue
that colour my soul
and rouse me from my sleep
have me running
against the ebb
and rolling back to sea

and oh
how your eyes
have my heart soaring
setting sail
across the evening sky
where the moon
once shone so bold
yet left all below
awash in silvered cold

now put to shame
she hides
in the shadows
the night
my empty garden
already full
with thee
