Dreams of Iguacu

A cloud, a drop, a puddle, a stream
A river that drifts into a dream

As the water crests the curtain is drawn
A cascade of froth flows forever on

The breeze and spray swirl and sway
Like a gentle samba on a summer day

Butterflies dance from flower to tree
A journey of pure joy, forever free

A rainbow reaches up towards the sky
And colours a toucan as it passes by

Red, yellow, orange, blue
Tell me can this dream be true

Amidst the roar a silenced stride
Alone in solitude at cliff’s side

Escaping from stresses far away
Immersed in nature for a short stay

If carried away on a boat below
I wonder where that journey might go

But I know one day I must return here
To share this dream with one more dear

With humble heart too long concealed
May that one true love be revealed

Clouded memories drift with the mist
And take me back to that time of bliss

Dreams persist, I can’t resist
Thoughts of Iguacu with you
