Capture the Rapture
As the soft winds caress the trees in hula-hymns
I dance in a sailor's violet-blue dream he sends
Etched in a moon-drenched sky endless with time
Where legends desire lagoons of immortal rhyme
Warm coral waves reigns cartwheels on the beach
See the silent moment where celestial stars reach
Great hues of shifting love full of supreme rapture
You just found a majestic sunshine hot for capture.
