-Dreamlands Rose- Hello dreamlands rose You grow in my heart You grace that place inside Where life is healed and born again You called to me And whispered when I was in pain Now I know what heaven is And its stars spell out your name Your legend lives like a candle in the breeze Never dying with the sunset Or when the rains set in Your footsteps will always grace the land Along my dreamlands greenest hills Your candle’s flame burns bright tonight Just like your legend always will Loveliness I’ve seen These days are empty without your smile This torch will always burn in me For my dreamlands golden child Even thought I try The truth brings me to tears All my words can never express The joy you brought me In the days of my years **************************************************** This was inspired by both Elton John's 1997 version of "Candle In The Wind" and a girl by the name of Katrina Raquel Sanchez. I'm sure most everyone out there had a first love. She was mine. Although Elton's song honored the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales. Mine is to celebrate Katrina's life both in reality and in the garden of my dreams. Its been over 2 years since I've seen her, she left without a good-bye. One day she was just gone. This is the first time since those days that this has seen the light of day. I count it as one of my most profound works. It is not only from my heart...it IS a part removed from it and etched onto paper.(try listening to the song while you read it) |

while reading this, i sang Elton's melody in my head and well, i find it's a sweet and personal revision of a classic. |
