Have You Ever Seen? Pt. 1

Have you ever seen a sunset overtake the sky so blue

That made you simply stand in awe and revel in its hue?

Have you ever seen a waterfall in perfect flowing form

From whose awe inspiring majesty your gaze cannot be torn?

Have you ever seen a starry sky sparkle so pure and true?

If you've seen these you know how I feel when I lay my eyes on you.

Beauty raises up our hearts and minds beyond the clouds.

It elevates the humble, and humiliates the proud.

This I know and know it well, for this I've seen time and again,

But there's another side of beauty: a side of sadness, a side of pain.

For I could no sooner hold a sunset embraced within my arms

Than I could hold you lovingly and revel in your charms.

And I could no sooner walk along with a waterfall hand in hand

Than I could walk alongside you barefooted in the sand.

And I could no sooner kiss your cheek than I could kiss the heavenly stars

And I feel as far away from you as I feel from suns that burn afar.
