The Lotus and The Butterfly
A crystal clear river flowing near a meadow,
With beautiful sounds, like that of a libretto,
A garden of flowers, bushes and butterflies,
A bright sun, cool air and clear warm blue skies,
Green grass expands as far as the eye can see,
Two people to be found, only you and me,
I know you like animals, especially horses,
So we have plenty, and many resources,
Off in the distance, there sits a tree of flower,
One is white, and radiates all of the power,
Happiness and joy, positive vibrations,
To live like this, no need for vacations,
No conception of time, not even a minute,
Just you and I and the moment, we're in it,
Hand and hand, eye in eye,
Sun is down, with moon in sky,
Peace and love, away we soar,
When we awake, there is more.
