February the 21st, 2000 in the first year of the second Millennium
As I retire alone, I feel that I belong
As I sleep in nature's peace, I have a feeling strong
And with a joy like this I know I can't be wrong
I shout with renewed joy, and raise my voice in song
The pains are past, I know at last,
A peace I've known for years
But never felt
And never saw
Through veils of doubt and tears
My beauty lies
In crimson sheets
Her bower a wonder to behold
And the joy I share
Is tendered there
And returned a thousandfold
You give me love
You give me hope
You give me peace and serenity
If it all works out
I will have no doubt
That all will be in harmony.
I know there's a place
And a state of mind supreme
A garden with a fountain
Shedding tears and founts of steam
Bubbling with heated passion
Showering ecstasy, love and memories
A place with trees and flowers
And grassy knolls with elves
A playing with the faeries
And the love among ourselves
This is the garden of Allah
Eden and love and friendship
Forever
We will romp there until I awaken
And the strains of the music cease never.
