.

I emptied out the sea

Looking for shining mermaid scales

Smooth, sleek, colorful shells

Brilliant azure dolphins

But nothing was as beautiful as you.

.

I flew across the sky

Looking for soft cushioning clouds

Graceful, elegant birds

Glittering round raindrops

But nothing was as wonderful as you.

.

I wandered through the night

Looking for bright and sparkling stars

A luminescent moon

Plaintive haunting songs

But nothing was as breathtaking as you.

.

I traveled far and wide

Looking for graceful charming girls

Bright lipstick covered smiles

Deep radiant sapphires

But nothing will ever be as precious as you.
