Drifting dreams on music's wings
carry me to allysiam days,
days of smiles when hearts were light,
days of youth's careless blaze.
Soft memories come floating back
through shaded corridors of time,
flowing free in misty dreams,
echoes of what once was mine.
Bubbling from a well of thought
water of a long-lost life,
time of careless, carefree days
full of laughter, free from strife.
A form, a face, aword, a song
carried on soft recall's wings,
stirring pools of sunken scenes
with all the time-lost sights it brings.
Bathed in rays of long ago
I drift along a dreamy path,
catching glimpses as I glide,
embers from a glowing hearth
stirred as if by bellows pumped
upon a bed of near dead coals,
reviving in my musing thoughts
silver dreams and long dead goals.
