Of the many attributes one may possess
one above all is indispensable
A capacity for joy
A childlike wonder
to stand in awe
at acts and structures of grandeur
the perfunctory masses can cling
to some "realist" notion
I've lived and seen too much
to belief in their notion
when able man can reach
straight to the heavens
deeds formidable
structures unimagined
as we stare at these myriad jewels of creation
we become part of all we see
and joy and beauty must be shared and
savored..in the presence of love
perhaps "happiness" is just the dream
of obtaining it
some addict's high
an injection sorely needed
so shoot me up
with ayha sofia
and the golden horn
I'll take the mediterranean
and the aegean sea
and when its nearly over
I'll look into your eyes
and we shall relive all those
moments
as if new again...
