Words that linger like a storm
And drift away across the chimney tops
Spiralling like brightly colored paper dreams
As they fly across these open skies
Relecting pools of mirrored lights
That soothe away my tired thoughts
On and on they capture me
Carnival themes like tumbling dreams
Play their tunes and make me smile
Like the wind that ruffles autumn leaves
As they dance along a garden path
Creating voices that speak within
The nightly prayers of a child at peace
And fly away like birds into the night
Shadows that always dance and play
Under the eaves following a midnight trail
Endlessly chasing away the light
That shines around me like a halo
And calls me forever to fly away...
