Lisa Lisa
Mona Lisa
Silent Sphinx of the Nile
Is your inscrutable smile
Thy glance penetrates my soul
Reading my life like a scroll
Deeply into my heart you scan
Seeing the spirit that's in man
Beyond the universe you dwell
Knowing the innerverse so well
Cosmic laws you understand
Buddha's flower in your hand
Mirrored in thy angelic face
Eternal Love, Infinite Grace.
