Scented Dreams

Sage scented dreams of beauty and journeys beyond 
after the sun has bleached the sky with regal strays of blond 
it turns into  a crimson shade of shying pink and rosy glass 
pouring out its last sweet ray on velvet trees and grass
 
Worship ceremonies, braided leaves of smoldering strong 
memories grooved on the heart we know where we belong  
every sorrow gathers here, sometimes we walk alone   
artist strokes of genius and suddenly we feel at home 
 
Pastel colors white washed thoughts of yesterdays that kiss  
back in  days when we were happy and nothing was amiss 
Former times when I could see colors of an evening sunset 
those were days of gifted bless with no warrants no regrets 

Hints of lavender milked soft into the fading of the light  
there is nothing more I value than the gift of second sight 
As the artist seals her art the sky turns solid brass
while the faded denim sky drops his shadow on the grass .
