Dreaming in the Night

Take me to the moon

High up amongst the stars

For when you dream touching the heavens

Dreams don’t seem so far

The stars twinkle down their good wishes

The night would lend its fancy

And dreams which were so vague

Begin to gain some clarity

The clouds shift their forms

Into the landscape of your dreams

And they seem so real, just beyond

Almost in reach it seems

And you could be content forever

High up in the air

Dreaming dreams with the stars

Without a thought or care

Unknowing to the passing hours

Or of the daylight’s morning ride

They don’t exist, there’s only

You, your dreams, the night

Until you float down to solid ground

As the sun rises and the moon bids adieu

But the hope you found so far above

Will always remain with you

Evening Chimes

Grey slants strolled down the corridor

As I watch quietly by

The end of the day is coming

And the world’s waving goodbye

The blue sky has turned whiter

Like whispers of mist

The wind blows softly now

Like a goodbye kiss

The trees are losing their shine

As the skies turn grey

Sunset is soon but not yet!

It’s only nearing the end of day

Flowers fold their buds to sleep

The birds return to their nests

The songs of morning are now quiet

As fits this peaceful time best

You would have thought me sad

That a beautiful day had to end

But nay, I still smile

For I have the wind for a friend

And the wind would not let any mourn

Or even frown at the end of a day

For it flew in and sang to me

Before it went on its way

And it brushed the wind chime as it flew

And how those chimes sang!

Crystal clear, bright and light

Like a silver bell they rang!

And as I listened to its song

Each note seemed to say

Enjoy the night and its splendor

For tomorrow’s another beautiful day

A Home in the Woods

I walked in the quiet woods

Where very few ever roam

And there amongst the towering trees

I made my soul a home

The blue sky was my ceiling

The trees my pillars and walls

The leaves my living carpet

And the roots were my floor

The sun was my lamp in the day

The moon and stars by night

The running brook was my playmate

Its song filled me with delight

The birds in the air were my wind chimes

Singing when the day was clear

The ferns my stairs to wonders

Everywhere far and near

The wind was my sweet refresher

My story teller in disguise

The creatures my daily companions

Rising with me at sunrise

Yes, I walked in the woods one day

And a sweet home I did find

For though my body departed

I left my heart and soul behind
