Burning Our Dreams Into Cold, Dark Ashes

Burning Our Dreams Into Cold, Dark Ashes Shall we dance to music of misty dawns Celebrate the beauty of newborn fawns join in Nature's treasures stroll the woods and never measure The beauty of its silent sound the depth of its holy ground Or just remember to praise joy it shall forever raise Songs in our hearts that give paradise glimpses as we live Pause to gaze at covering sky stir its birds to forever fly into arcs of colorful flashes burning our dreams into cold, dark ashes! Robert J. Lindley 09-29-2014 Note. - Greatly shortened rewrite of a poem I wrote in 1981.

So true my friend. Nature teaches us that God is real and has a plan for us too.
