Sometimes you come to me
When I am unprepared
Overwhelmed by all your beauty

Swell upto my ears
But if I could keep you still
Have I not already lost you?
How else would you make me witness
The grand ball at which the trees sway
And the clouds twirl
To the same rhythm as that flows through my veins.
