Piper At Gates of Dawn If Only For A Week... Sonnet 1 In my mind, a piper dawns and plays his songs to me His tales match mine of woes and loves and thoughts of only thee Painful tunes in need of change that greet me every morn Yet in the nighttime angels share and gather words reborn Weary now, and spiritless, no peace, none can be found Each time I listen for that lilt, a distant calling sound It drifts on by, not meant for me, to ease another's fears As time, it passes, once again and months turn into years Keep reaching high and far and wide from sunrise to its set Wanting words to join my heart and sadness to forget At gates of dawn, I see him there, the piper with his eyes Tearing, as he plays for me his tune of loss and lies Gathering strength and moving forth, from desolate must seek A place to stay, a place to rest, if only for a week A Heavenly Sound ...Sonnet 2 I feel his every movement as he greets me in the morn His rhythms that I lean to hear when shattered and forlorn Entice me, make me follow him, this piper and his dreams Forever an eternity, been searching, so it seems He flies me to a galaxy where twinkling lights adorn Their glowing barely touches me, yet golden I have worn Angelic faced I do become, in perfect harmony When e're the piper's spirits fly, I rise, in memory And float the heavens in my mind, the wars have all been won Without a care, defeat is naught, am aiming for the sun The shine and warmth in need of now, to soothe the scars to heal Tomorrow brings the best to come, and with it love, I feel And when the dawn appears this next, I'll stand upon this ground Look up to see the angels fly, full of this heav'nly sound The Piper's Wish...Sonnet 3 The power of each night reserved with dreams, tomorrow's reels Allows the rise of words to lips, in thoughts of tender feels When moments reach the piper's draw, each pull "Come closer, near" He greets me in the dawning love, erasing all the fear I hear his tunes so deftly played, soft sounds in which to sink Submerged am I, in fill of loss, the thirst of need to drink Though reign of rain is seasoned now to cloak me in its hold It 'tis the look from oceaned eyes caressing hurts of old Pretense the past, forlorned of once, this heart begins its play Joining in the piper's wish, his tunes lighthearted say The full of moon, last evening's view brought hopes and dreams to rise Shadows flickered "whispered touch" to night sleep hypnotise Wrapping in its golden warmth, before the wane of time The piper at the gates of dawn, awaits each morning rhyme.
