Dreams of Silk and Lilac Myrrh

Blushing moon, night again
Sends foreign thoughts inside my head
Nest of flowers kill the cold
As dreams enter the sleeper's fold
Yellow bird coo's aloft
A lullaby made of jade and soft
Dreams of silk and lilac myrrh
Dance the dreams that belong to her
Golden fantasy and silver nights
Color her dreams of black and white.
