When you’ve had a taste of something sweet
Something real and indescribable
It’s hard to yield to surrogates
Where masks and mascara disguise
Life looks different, eyes see blurry
Ears hear muffled, heart feels tiny
City lights are cold, brightness blinding
Return to the simple, open breezes
Stretch life across country roads
Blooming borders, miles unwinding
The goodness lies before you
Not without pain or trouble
But the sweet whispers of God always
The only real truth of love stands clear, and yet
Magical beauty only captures dim reflections
While promised eternity shines golden
