Let It Play On

From the violin of lady fair
soft classical notes fill the air.

soothing music floats through open french doors
carried on a summer breeze
billowing lace curtains 

As I lie upon the chaise lounge
in and out of sleep I doze.
Sweet melody a lullaby.
Heavy eyelids begin to close.

Deep in my slumber 
he comes to me in a dream.
In his arms I swoon
as we waltz to Blue Danube.
Forever let it play on.



Broken Wing's contest.
It's All About Four.

So it was you? If only I knew..... Actually I do have French doors leading into my bedroom that I lock at night Viv. How did you know that? Oh yes of course, in dreams we can travel far.
