Here Comes the Sun
An overflowing cupAn ever-blooming roseA love that never wilts That only grows and grows and grows A gravity that liftsTime that blinks and yawnsNo end, no beginningSimply spinning dawn to dawn A beauty that doesn’t boast But knocks you off your feet Can’t stem the flow, in it’s glow Hypnotized in its heat A prettyContinue reading “Here Comes the Sun”
