Dreaming of a sky that of a summer night
thoughts all clouded by fairy tales
Long shades of trees in the twilight
Leaping across the hills and dales
I drew my foot across the stream
That ran down through the hills and fields
And I paused upon that dream
of the childhood days ,much yields
Like a cloud that drifts with my mind
far and above the mahagony hills
As the road to my past unwinds
into the heart the harmony fills
with brush strokes of mawkish colors
through cotton trees and abandoned mills
I followed upon my footsteps and that of my brothers...
As decieved by time and guided by fate
not the least a tear drop the pain
But neither me nor them nor they
could forget the sun,the wind ,the rain
As the ghosts from the past ran down
Upon our lives linking the chains
of all thats left as a mottley crowd
what once was known in the country lanes
where we flocked in the summers crowd
As a bunch of toads that ruffled the dames
Upon the path of pimpernal fields
Now fades behind the curtains of pantomime games
Reaching the stars bridging the seas
All but carried was the child in me
who strolls into his past searching for peace
And with a seared heart ,still about the summers
night dreams.
