As I look at your face from afar
What meaning and beauty I find
The radiance you give forth
Shifts my mind to another dimension
Where I am a traveler
Searching for truth in a distant kingdom
And your face is the world that surrounds me
Your eyes are the suns that bring light to this life
And their colors the sky they created
Your irises blue like a summer morning
Partially grayed by the lifting haze
And your pupils black like a fall midnight
Without the stars or the moon to impure
And bordering shades of red and violet
As if they were the sight
Of the horizon during dusk and dawn
And these images are molded together
Into the one world I see
Your mind is the god that rules this world
And your mouth is the Mount Olympus
Where it is dangerous to go
But how so many would love to
If they could and they had no fear
How I try but my power's too small
My meekness, your presence halt me
Your lips are the guardian of the mountain
And the messenger of the god
Standing motionless like a model
Painstakingly quiet to all but too few
Seemingly impossible to get into
But there is a way to get closer
There is a way, I know
Your smile so rare and so beautiful
Transforms the mind of the traveler
I see a rainbow instead of a passing shower
And the rainbow builds up a hope inside me
That I will find what I'm looking for
And the truth is so wonderful
And your face holds all of the answers
