In Moon's Glow
I’m sailing on a blue sea in moon’s glow.
Beyond the horizon my days are kissed
with magic; far into the past I go.
Walks along a cherry lane! An autumn mist!
Reality or just a fantasy?
Beyond the horizon my days are kissed.
I think I can recall a Hanah Lee. . .
on wisps of memory to which I cling.
Reality or just a fantasy?
What birds of splendor did I once hear sing?
I yearn to know again; I slowly drift
on wisps of memory to which I cling.
Upon a dragon’s tail I wish to lift!
Dreams ripple on the waves, and to a land
I yearn to know again I slowly drift.
To run again with bare feet in white sand!
I’m sailing on a blue sea in moon’s glow.
Dreams ripple on the waves, and to a land
with magic - far into the past I go!
the magic moon . . .
in moonlight’s absence
could fantasy survive?
