Setting One
Your beauty
Laid out before me
Stops
Me
Your beauty
Laid out before me
Orange hues wrapped in florid haze
This sky
Brushed upon a palette
By the sliding sun
Layers
Broadcasting the coming twilight
Filled with hope and promise
Your beauty is
Laid out for me
Seeks me
Reaches out and touches my eyes
Causing them to care for you
A beauty that grazes my thoughts
Hunting
Beyond knowing
your play through faint prisms
Longing to be known
Your beauty
Laid out for me ready to be felt
A lover’s embrace
Caress of possibilities
Tonight
In each sigh
Each brush of lips
Your beauty
Laid out before me stops
Me
Longing has left with
Desire
Calm and undisturbed
Even as your wonder
Strikes my sightlessness
Drumming
A distant glow
Laid out before me
Stops
Me
Your beauty
Laid out before me
Orange hues wrapped in florid haze
This sky
Brushed upon a palette
By the sliding sun
Layers
Broadcasting the coming twilight
Filled with hope and promise
Your beauty is
Laid out for me
Seeks me
Reaches out and touches my eyes
Causing them to care for you
A beauty that grazes my thoughts
Hunting
Beyond knowing
your play through faint prisms
Longing to be known
Your beauty
Laid out for me ready to be felt
A lover’s embrace
Caress of possibilities
Tonight
In each sigh
Each brush of lips
Your beauty
Laid out before me stops
Me
Longing has left with
Desire
Calm and undisturbed
Even as your wonder
Strikes my sightlessness
Drumming
A distant glow
