Magnanimous

I was wrong. So wrong. Forgive me.

Look up into the sky, what do you see

blue, light blue, white, marshmallows

a shape so familiar in your eyes

yes, the clouds are singing for us

they have collaborated to shape

a warm, sincere heart just for us

in the center of the great blue sky

where every individual shares a glance

everyone looks at the same blue sky

everyone sees the bright moonlight

everyone adores the sky up high

and there, the great singer presents

its greatest gift, for us and only us




Yet I was so wrong. So wrong. Forgive me.

I know you will, a magnanimous heart

but I would accept it if you did not

because I deserved it. I deserved it.

A great heart, a clever mind, in you.

But what was I, a selfish narrow-minded

who knows what, I don't even realize

until I missed you, totally, beyond

tonight, as I stare into dark blue infinity

all are gone, blankness bounds back

loneliness surrounds, fills, drowns

until I missed you, did I realize I was wrong

did I know I deserve a yell in the face

I apologize, I do on my knees, and cry




Cried out my heart

I realized the greediness in me

that caused my dissatisfaction

ultimate desire for more and better

until I missed you, did I realize I was loved

by the most wonderful person

who one could ever have met

and you had forgiven me

because of the open-mindedness

within, deep within, locked in, you heart

and now I realized, I was the only one

who you had shared the key with

no other, were permitted, to gain access

to your magnanimous, warmly nurtured heart
