The universe that’s mostly empty space
but holds our life-filled gem of green and blue
feels like the largely vacant realm I face
within which I have found the world of you.
Within the dryness of the universe,
O you are my oasis, and I’m yours,
within a vastness which has been adverse,
a place where love like water freely pours.
An emptiness I’ve wished I could avoid
surrounds my being and fills me to the brim,
but like a star that shines within the void,
love glows in what would otherwise be grim.
Within the dryness of the universe,
O you are my oasis, and I’m yours,
within a vastness which has been adverse,
a place where love like water freely pours.
A gem like Earth may be unique or rare
despite how truly vast deep space is;
uncommon in the cosmos too a pair
like ours, a treasured amorous oasis.
Within the dryness of the universe,
O you are my oasis, and I’m yours,
within a vastness which has been adverse,
a place where love like water freely pours

Hi Mario, sorry I've just discovered your reply. Somehow I've missed it. I'll read your beautiful lyrics again and see if I can come up with music feeting them better.

Absolutely fantastic lyrics. I might have music for them but I don't sing well enough though. Please let me know if you are interested but if not, thank you for the pleasure of reading your work.
