Journey To Unwind

Written September 28, 2013 On a winter's day On a chilly morn' I'll be mourning The loss of a love once lost The loss of a love once buried in the frost At the behest of an angel She'll come around at last When the dinner bell rings We'll walk along and sing Songs of ancient writings Found written on the walls Of spiritual surroundings Dancing in my mind Swinging to the pendulum of time To make her what was mine Before the sound came crashing down Like chandeliers of persistence Glistening brightly in reflections Of crystal on the table Clinging glasses to a toast For lovers entangled evermore On majestic misty mountains Where snow cascades down the countryside Until it's reached the ocean floor Where salmon swim upstream To the tune of our dreams While embryonic journeys Pass through the corded ever after To dream of light and day While the children beat their drums To the tambourine in time While the father's watch unwinds And the son is in the closet Strumming songs with Jane While the mother presses cotton The daughter recites her magnum opus To animals in repose Upon her bedroom floor She speaks in tongues long gone Like a kiss from a rose And then she's gone To dream with the ancients until dawn
