This Night We Share A Dream

 

 

The sleeping waters of the lake, quiet, they dream of the moon,

Reflected captured by their depths,

As tonight, the trees hush to the wind’s gentle tune,

And we see all the ‘fore unseen sights,

And we sculpt and we paint and we write,

As a dreamy awe takes away our breath

 

And this night we share a dream,

Yes tonight we kiss each other’s worlds,

Caught where our eyes are all around,

Our hair swept by the wind and the sound,

And all is exactly as it does seem

 

And we look down from atop the very highest of peaks,

Down on the shimmering plains,

And everything‘s so clear there is no need to speak

And the heavens cry with envy of the idyll,

And chaos of consciousness can’t disturb the still,

Caught where we know no pain

 

Come all women and come all you men,

Come to our domain,

Come all you children, come all our friends

Come all you relatives, and all ancestors,

Let life return you as that you prefer,

In a dream of love, oh, what gain?

 

 And this night we share a dream,

Yes tonight we know kiss each other’s worlds,

Caught where our eyes are all around,

Our hair swept by the wind and the sound,

And all is exactly as it does seem

Nice, peaceful, randomly rhymed poem.

Feel that the `wind swept` spoils the smoothness a bit (and `still` wont do just there)

But overall, better than most.
