Once I Met Him

A song that I based off of a similar one, entitled "Once You Meet Her," by Lisa Ohki

How could I know it?

Where he came from, where he’s going

But once I met him

I found that something around me was changing

 

He’s like the moon

When he rises, all are content

So when he whispered

What could I do but listen?

 

High in the sky, there’s a bright palace

All around, its paradise

He’s smiling-

Like a choir of singing angels

 

He’s like that phantom

When he’s speaking, when he’s singing

Just watch him planning

How nice it would be to walk with him

 

How blessed I must be

When I go to see him

I can’t ask for too much

He’s already good enough for me

 

High in the sky, there’s a bright palace

All around, its paradise

He’s smiling-

Like a choir of singing angels

 

I’m always sad and blue when he’s far away

I can only hopat I’ll be able to see him soon

Sometimes I can even hear his voice, ringing from afar…

 

And no one knows it

Where I’m going, where I went

But when they find me

I’ll be by his side

Such beautiful images and heartfelt sentiment. I also like the last four lines: very touching. The poem has a gentle flow which drew me in. Thanks for sharing this.

I really liked it. There's some great descriptions sprinkled throughout and great imagery. The flow was good and there was a minor grammatical error, but it was a really great poem. I liked the word choice and it has a very content mood.
