How splendid is this azure sky,
Arms spread, it embraces one and all
Oh! How generous is its heart,
A soul with compassion filled.
To laden its bounty upon the needy
Yet not asking any in return…
An infinite empyrean… how marvelous
In its beauty did I get lost…
Its gold and silver jewels…
Which upon day and night brightly shine
My eyes in wonder did stare and admire.
And in its lap did my doves coo…
Calling me… but alas I couldn’t fly…
But my spirit did soar into its realm…
And a word or two silently I said,
Of how my nights were desolate…
To be soothed by its calming voice…
“Fear not. For evermore, will be your friend.
And embrace you when none by your side stand.”
A tear, a smile did emanate…this promise was no fake.
And to this day by me it stands…
Come hale, storm or rain or pain…
How splendid is this azure sky…
Arms spread, it embraced me with entirety.
