OF DEWDROPS AND DAYDREAMS

Dewdrops and daydreams
sprinkled with sunbeams bright,
a garden of pure enchantment
soothes my heart tonight.
And as the sun prepares to set,
the day beginning to slip
away and out of sight,
butterflies and fairies
grace the flowers and trees
and steal my heart away.

For within this garden,
this magical place,
I find the words to describe
the treasures I find,
images that capture
what I wanted to say;
my soul stirred,
my heart transported,
if only for a time,
as I stroll through
its crystal-lined pathways
and inhale the fragrances
that sustain me there.

And as I leave the garden
and the magic that I’ve found,
I go on about my day once more,
back to reality for a little while,
more refreshed,
my outlook renewed,
than I was before.
