On a plane Christchurch to Napier – 24 August 2013 7:35am
I float above the morning
And below the land is green
Beauty you would appreciate
If only you had seen
The plains of Canterbury
With rivers and trees
The wisps of fog
Like a veil to tease
You understand beauty
You embody beauty
You are beauty
Your mind beauty filled
Kaikoura now
With waves and rocks
The mountains snow capped
Nice to take stock
They lay before me
As you once did
A thing of wonder
No part hid
My mind reverts
To experiences had
To times hearts talked
Whilst hand in hand
Thoughts of sharing
The beauty of life
Thoughts of you so clear
My future wife
Yet best is the enemy of good
And must becomes should
Oh to view this wondrous place
With your eyes, peaking out from that beautiful face
My words with such little soul
Meaningless without you to hold
To hold my words and craft them such
To manipulate them with your incredible touch
The river below it twists
On the way to its end
No direct route
Just bend after bend
Our lives run similarly
Reaching towards who we want to be
The power of two
For me I choose you
