Dreamer's Serenade

As poets, we frequently write about love, longing, and connection. Each trying to capture the essence of love through our unique journey filled with dreams, aspirations and our innate desire to discover that joyful eternal love. So come on another journey in search of love. (Inspired by my wife and musicians of my past)

Blessings,

Daniel Henry Rodgers

---------------------------------------

The story of my life It started the day you came…. One On an eastern-painted sky where clouds adrift play My poet’s eye wanders through realms astray. Beneath a twilight sky that speaks of dreams yet unfulfilled Dreams soar like melodies on owl’s wings in flight. Her scent of jasmine lingered somewhere out in the night. Two I’m a dreamer and poet with soul-searching deep Lost in the ether where mysteries seep. My philosopher mind with theologian’s plea I’m the sun, wind and rain wildly untamed and free. Chorus She is the moon, the good soil and the seed The rivers and creeks where life takes heed. I am the sun, the wind, clouds and rain In her rainbow of dreams I hope to remain. Three By Aurora’s wings, through an open door I see her standing, planted perfectly evermore. Eyes like fiery sapphires, heart of purest gold Godly and beautiful, her story foretold. My heart skips a beat, my breath catches in awe. Chorus She is the moon, the good soil, the seed, The rivers and creeks a place where life takes heed. I am the sun, the wind, clouds and rain. In her rainbow of dreams I hope to remain. Four A philosopher’s mind and a musician’s heart In love with a lady such a masterpiece of art. Her beauty and wisdom, celestial and bright In my thoughts’ garden, she blooms day and night. Bridge Like a poem that aches for its word Singing of love that is timelessly unheard I ink my song with her grace divine. Hoping her heart will align with mine. Five Under heaven’s home, in night’s silent reign I question my worth in love’s pure domain. With every breath I yearn for her touch With a sage’s mind and a lyricist's scroll. Can I craft a love to make two souls whole? Chorus She is the moon, the good soil, the seed. The rivers and creeks, where life takes heed. I am the sun, the wind, clouds and rain In her rainbow of dreams where I hope to remain. Bridge I’m a tempestuous ocean wild and unknown You’re the harbor calm, a peaceful home Can our worlds intertwine in harmonious art Or will destinies keep us drifting apart? Outro Lonely-looking sky as hope fills my heart I sing my serenade, play my poetic harp. In her dreams I ink my way Praying she'll choose me and forever stay. A theme that is timeless…. He is the sun, the wind, and the rain She is the moon, soil and seeded terrain. Together they dance in life’s grand harmony. A dreamer and his precious passionate wife. In love, a timeless eternity…, As she reaches for his hand, Behold it if you may…., As the one God will make for your way Glory looking day! The story of my life It ends the day you leave…..

This is quite a beautiful serenade! I love it! Really! The imagery and the captivating cadence of your lines truly sets a melody to your lyrics! I love also how youv written that you are a dreamer. I call myself a word dreamer. As i dream mostly of words and also im a dreamer, dreaming away, and i love also how you took elements of nature to paint emotions in such a seamless manner! Clever of you. You did a creative and artistic one that i think many can feel. “ He is the sun, the wind, and she is the moon, opposites do attract and hearts when entwined they dance against all odds! Fave this is! Love it! Sending you light always!

Dear Empress, How could I not be filled with joy this morning reading your comments. I love to dream, and perhaps is one of my favorite pastimes. I usually wake up at 4 a.m., M-Fri. On Saturday I allow myself to stay in bed until 6:30 going in and out of sleep sets up all kinds of dreams and sparks creativity. I loved your description of word dreamer, which inspires you to write amazing poems. Thanks for always being there and have a great weekend. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Interesting lyrics about a world which only a dreamer thinks is real... Your lyrics suggests a personal and introspective journey, possibly one of love and deep emotional significance. The introductory line, "It started the day you came…", sets a romantic and transformative tone, indicating that the presence of your beloved is central to your life. I like its lyrical structure, emotional depth, and vivid imagery.

Dear SO, Thank you for your gracious comments. Yes, it is match of love between creativity and reality. Initially looks like a mismatch and a love that will never happen. The pursuit of love is a story in and of itself, especially when they both see that they need each other. I am thankful for all your comments and I appreciate your words. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Awesome love song Daniel. Different, to be sure. Your chorus and latter bridge put me in mind a bit of the song Ruby Jean and Billie Lee by Seals and Crofts. Yes, for those of us fortunate enough to have experienced true love our lives began the day she came and will end the day she's gone

Good Morning, Tom, Thank you for being the first one to respond. I wanted to make this a journey for a wild creative type and a grounded lady who, on the outset, seemed to be a mismatch. With perseverance, he wins her over for they both recognize each other's weaknesses, which is the other's strengths, making a perfect complement of two. As the Bible says, two come together to be one. Always a pleasure reading your poems and comments. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
