Perfectly formed, the universe chose you
to provide the beauty of its soul.
Your radiance stole the attention,
purified the polluted hearts of your
masses of admirers, and drowned
the worries of my life in the
deep ocean of their insignificance.
Your loving nature is a source of wonder,
a rarity in a brutal world, that soothes
with the hypnotic rhythms of its music-
so beautiful that Mozart turns in his grave
at the missed opportunities of his life-
and paints pictures of heaven
on the canvas of my heart.
