Dance of Dreams

In the evening, on a moon lit sea
if you stand on the shore and admire
you will notice, not one, but a million twinkles

As the light from moon reflects on the sea
its not shown as one but pieces of sum
like the hopes and dreams yet to come

The weary heart can take note
that all who have passed before this shore
still linger here in the light of night

The lawyers, doctors, teachers and pupils
the love struck wanders, farmers and bankers
the builders, preachers and store keepers

They stood here watching, fixing their sight
on the lapping waves across the endless plight
of water dancing in the night

And all of their hopes and dreams became
part of the very thing they seam
the multiple light of the moon lit sea

And now the light from that very moon
shines its light for me to see
my hopes and dreams flicker in that same sea.
