Spread wide in sublimation

       Inside deep symbolic drifts

              In absence of all reason

                     Surge unsettling psychic shifts

                           The jigsaw of creation

                                   Forms an ever changing game

                                             Dimensions not encountered

                                                         Yet familiar all the same

                                        

With rules not comprehended

     Yet deeply understood

          That love will guide the pieces

               To a higher good

Eve spread 'em wide for Adam

       As the cosmic Eden burst

              Angels came on meteors

                     Saying prayers that they'd be first

                            Knowing they would encounter

                                   The Devils of the Highlands

                                          Fighting for our creation

                                                 A showdown in the Badlands

With rules not comprehended

     Yet deeply understood

          That love will guide the players

              To a higher good

Now my dear I will reveal

       Such are things I think and feel

              Sometimes when you wake at night

                     Kiss my hair and hold me tight

                              I pray that you soar with me

                                     Back to our old apple tree

We'll recreate what's meant to be

Under our sweet apple tree

The shade is oh so heavenly

There's all we need for you and me

We'll settle there, eternally

With rules not comprehended

Yet deeply understood

That love will guide us home again

To a higher good
