She sails across the skies, but not upon the horn of moon
Her waxen wane is but the yellow of her hair
Its windswept waves to set the sea advancing.
the azure blueness of the Summer skies
She danced there upon the daisy tops
To sway and nod beneath her twinkling feet,
Her veil of flowing gossamer, of a thistle’s wing.
lilted voice, I hear her sing her song of
love to me ~ a song of songs.
And from my beating heart my voice cries out my love,
For I would be a part of thee.
For I would blend my soul with all of this ~
To feel the daisies nod beneath my feet,
Or touch the yellowed moon upon its horn.
And I’d become the azure in a Summer sky.
