I crawl through the thicket

Whatever it takes

 

I crawl through the thicket

by jack

 

O’er windswept conclusions a’ mist in the air

In fragrance that comes to my heart ever share

Of sundrenched magnolia beneath empty shade

To steal every ounce of your caring my way

I touch to the heavens a wing and a prayer

Belief in the joy that is felt everywhere

When the oceans fall further than all eyes can see

This love will eternally find you from me

 

When clouds of confetti, the song of the dove

The sweetest rendition of musical love

Does float on the breezes of everyday flow

A’ twisting and turning until it can show

Those mountains of glory that stand in the way

Exceeding the plan that we set forth this day

Can not comprehend what my pure love will do

No matter the hurdle, I send it to you

 

Since dawn hath approached in a place before time

So simple the earth as our life does unwind

Nor flowers of blossom still yet find the ground

A desolate nature lies lost in its sound

Lone rivers of feelings that one can not see

O’er rain cast endeavors drop life from the sea

Till all that is new shines a star up above

The light of its journey shall bring you my love

 

From deserts of sand to a sandy white shore

The pain shall be nothing each day I endure

I crawl through the thicket, my hands and my knees

If only a moment your sweet life to please

Not depths of the valleys found in them so deep

Nor locked away caverns of which I do creep

Shall keep me from finding the pathway to you

To bring you a love that is ever so true

Woweee, I loved the title! The things we do for others and the lengths we go to for them, this is beautiful and romantic.

Excellent piece of poetic romance (as is often your style). I kept coming back to this simple line: "I touch to the heavens a wing and a prayer, Belief in the joy that is felt everywhere..." Such a lovely sentiment. Very nice, Jack!
