Lilting Imaginations

Notes of the butterflies 
lightly lilt through the mind
as oceans songs from shells 
lend music to the deaf and blind

Creating wondrous worlds 
with balloon filled laughter highs
Repeating the recordings 
of blue birds feathered glide

Enchanting footnotes joining 
around a bonfire dance
while a prince, in a castle,
 invites songs first romance

Blues becoming bluer 
while pastel tunes enlighten
Refrains of  ballads replay
 implore the spirit lighten

Those magical compositions 
from our youthful imagination
Light breaths on birdsong’s flute 
aspiring whimsical aspirations

These words are drifting through the air as if no where to go. And yet they dance along their way as if we all should know. An endless song that's carried on a breeze as light as air. And leaves each soul that feels their touch. With no concern or care. Love the lilting lingering of phrasing you have penned Debra. Peace. :)
