Soft voices of spring riding a mountain breeze
whisper among tree tops, sweep across green meadows.
Asleep under the sun,
I awaken dreams that speak of life;
upon vistas of soft white sands and turquoise waves.
Like a child chasing a fluttering, teasing butterfly,
I chase these golden dreams across my mind.

Dreams flowing like rivers find their way to the sea,
and the sea always holds her island paradise in readiness
for the daring and weary sailor.
Here, the sun’s warmth never fails even under the moon;
Here, waves of joy
softly mould a white shore in harmony
to the wind, who, like a lover, caresses my virgin skin.

Yet the land and the mountains are my home,
my life circumscribed within their borders --
so says my mind
as I awaken from my Summer dreams --
but from those dreams I come to realize
all of Earth is a gentle understanding friend,
always there when loneliness seeks to invade
or haunt my thoughts like the moonless night shadow.

Such wonderful dreams WindWalker. You've written them beautifully.
