“Wrongfully do men lament the flight of time….Let your work be such that after death you become an image of immortality.” -Leonardo Da Vinci


Darkness crippled me to the ground
Sharp blades forced cries
Everyday was a new torture
I don't know how much more to take

Every restless night was spent in tears
Minutes would pass before hours took flight
I was veering off the path to something good
And now every opportunity was hidden

But here you swept me off my feet
Cradling me with reassuring kisses
Drowning me in admiration and love
And hand in hand you stand tall with me

The fog cleared up, but mystery still lurked
Sending confusion to engulf me
Words were now muffled, but I was still here
On this remote deserted island

A labyrinth lays before me, ensnaring me
Fear rose, a new need for you rose
I cried out, but you wouldn't answer
Darkness overcame me, jolting me up

But here you swept me off my feet
Cradling me with reassuring kisses
Drowning me in admiration and love
And hand in hand you stand tall with me

Sunlight shines through the thick clouds
At last joy had broke through the storm
Ever since you were summoned
Every day became clearer and clearer

You’re the one who shields me from danger
A chivalrous warrior protecting his treasure
The daunting puzzles gone, my world rid of evil
You’re the one I see in my future

And you sweep me off my feet
Cradling me in assuring kisses
Drowning me in admiration and love
And hands in hands, we stand tall
