Endless Love

Open the gate, usher in the sun

Sweep in the ocean breeze

From far and from near 

Gather a thousand roses of every color

Arrange them in the shape of a rainbow

In a white Scatchard vase 

Embossed with Matisse reds & cobalt blues

Ring every mountain top with a song

Swim every sea

Put on your au couture smile 

And tease it with a splash of the moon

Move in phase with the ocean

Like a surfer & wave always longing to meet 

Let me be your prefect wave 

Your every dawn, and your sun

Filtering through the haze of reason 

Between neatly chronicled counter points 

Warm rays glistening on your cheeks

Bringing you joy and comfort    

And my endless love, wherever you may be. 

For Annie
