shades of michaelangelo

a still-life portrait

a view from my window

touched by innocence

now fading away

into a quiet storm

of the tears of the angels

falling around me

as i'm watching the days

i frame colors of passion

against a fading sky

with a stroke of love

on the canvas of my soul

i'm painting a perfect world

with shades of michaelangelo

with each promise made

in every heart that knows

we can live in a perfect world

in shades of michaelangelo

a seed of hope

grows in my garden

i feel the earth

beneath my feet

running through my mind

are dreams of a future

where all of this world

works in harmony

i frame colors of passion

against a fading sky

i hear songs of children

echo in the sky

i hear songs of children

a tomorrow so bright
