I am thankful for the star beams They keep me wakeful through the night For I would drift along in dreams Where melancholy guides my flight My love she’s beauty in my eyes Playful, happy, enjoying life But when the sky wears its disguise My saddened heart bears the knife The blinds are turned the drapes are drawn There’s heavy blackness weighing in I lay awake in wait for dawn To see my love holding her again If I’m to live in blue and gray Star beams peaking through the mask Will keep my longing heart in sway I know Heaven’s up for the task All Day I Dream About Stanzas!! |

I enjoyed this...its rhythm and "sound" of melancholia, particularly. Quite lovely, Walt. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Very beautiful Walt. Definitely some hope here. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |
