Angels
(Fia Naturie/Billy Snagg)
I cannot compare thee to anything.
One look stops the very air that I breathe.
As angels kiss lips as soft as dew, sing,
For all that I yearn will make me believe.
And I carry on musing just the same,
Through life's tribulations, dancing a tune.
Loving each other, there can be no shame,
Proceeding in time to the sound of June.
Now when I think back to those pastures ripe -
Carefree and joyous for all we were worth,
Even on days we would carry a gripe -
Still you're my sunshine, my heaven on Earth.
So no matter the month or time of year,
Always be grateful when angels are near.
I cannot compare thee to anything.

Proceeding in time to the sound of June.

Carefree and joyous for all we were worth,
Even on days we would carry a gripe -
Still you're my sunshine, my heaven on Earth.
So no matter the month or time of year,
Always be grateful when angels are near.

Thank you, Billy, for the collaboration. I could not have imagined it would have turned out so beautifully.

It's a pleasure! But what gives me most pleasure is that it's quite different, I think, from what we would normally write. Thank you for your help with this, regarding the theme, the words & ultimate direction. 😊

I was able to tune in to Fia's message & elaborate on it. This one took a while to shape. I am delighted to have your opinion on it. Thank you, Kendal Mint Cake! 😉

A very beautiful tribute to loved ones! People should tell each other how much they love them and appreciate them more often

Awesome comp, y'all. It's wonderful when two personalities can mesh so well and come up with artistic expressions mutually. You succeeded most definitely!

Well, thank you, Styxian. It was really Fia that got this thing going cos as you know, whatever she writes, it usually gets us thinking, right? Like, okkkayyy, it's going this way, is it? 🤣

Don't sell yourself short, Billy. A firecracker is docile without a flame to ignite it.
You Zippo, you.
You Zippo, you.
