through the candle-lit incense haze I see your image
with edges shining a tranquil golden aura
the face of an angel full of life
eyes glistening brightly with emotions and experience behind them
smiling softly in the flickering light
and for a moment I envision your soul
outshining the brightest of stars
and your heart, bounding along with the hands of forever
then the image fades, but leaves its burnmark in the eternal soul of me
and I pray for you to make the vision reality
for never shall it fade
and such is my love for thee
