DREAMS

I strolled upon a hillside,
I saw the sky of blue,
This and many more things
Reminded me of you.

Although you're far away
I'll not forget your love,
A gift of which you sent me
Upon a snow white dove.

The day was warm and beautiful,
A gentle day for sure,
The way I felt within my heart
Was all so light and pure.

I lay upon the hillside,
The grass was green and new,
I closed my eyes and saw your face,
And your eyes of blue.

I dreamt we walked along a stream
And watched it trickling by,
We watched the fish swim to and fro
And saw the eagles fly.

With God as our witness,
We pledged our love anew,
We promised each other with our hearts,
Forever to be true.

I then awoke to reality,
The day was almost through,
But I know within my heart
That some dreams do come true.

I strolled back down the hillside,
The moon was shining bright,
I know that when I go to bed
I'll dream of you tonight.

YOUNG DEATH

Don't worry about dying,
my little one
It's just like flying
beyond the sun.

A land of love
for my little one,
And God above
to guide everyone.

Now you're gone
my little one
To the land beyond
where love is spun.

SPRINGTIME

I feel the springtime,
Joy of life is in the air,
Open your doors and windows
There’s more than enough to share.

I love to walk in the springtime,
Watching the earth turn green,
Not wanting to miss a single sight
Of what there is to be seen.

Feel the air of springtime,
Thick with morning dew.
Fresh and crisp it settles,
As the dawning comes in view.

Life and love and joy abound,
In the springtime of my world,
Flowers blooming silently
Like glorious flags unfurled.

Did you notice? I didn't till I started editing the pictures. The yellow rose has a little green bug in it and the purple Iris has a snail companion.

THE EVE OF MAN

At the break of day
When the moon is in full bloom
Snow lay on the ground
When summer came to soon.
The birds were chirping silently
Their confusion all to clear
Life holds many mysteries
And death is not to dear.
Day is dark and night is cold,
The children lost their way,
Without ears to listen with
Man had nothing to say.
Man was God and God was Man
Isolated worlds in which to stand,
In their minds so twisted
They made boulders of the sand.

"They" say that the eyes are a window to the soul. Eyes are a favorite of my artwork, this one was drawn with charcoal pencil and colored with pastels. c.1970

SING TO ME

Sing me a song of happiness
Make my heart dance in time with the song,
Laugh, rejoice, and be happy,
Sing to me all night long.

Now sing me a song that’s laid back,
Sing me a nice easy song,
Sing of love and gentle things,
Sing to me all night long.

Make love to me with your music,

With our bodies singing the song,

Lost in a world of beauty,

Sing to me all night long.

FREEDOMFLYS

Flittering, fluttering, flying on the breeze.
Swishing, swooshing, dancing in the sun.
Unconfined, unrefined, undefined,
Only living for the joys of life.
