Sweet Dreams In C - Collaboration With Darren White

black and white tones
ring together echoes
over two tone photos
scrolling along

memories
colored in remembrance
happenings in sepia
when we were small

imagination animated
claude leading the way
moonlight illuminates
a kaleidescope display

moon shines its silvery
rays, soft music plays
around the room
I will sleep soon

key notes weave harmonies
whipperwill and chickadees
night's sweet lullaby song
gently sings of rest and sleep

last notes fade away
musical dreams in C
eat away sharp edges 
I smile in my sleep

At my grandparents cottage up north and all the night music begins. For a child it is a part of their magical world. Your collaboration returned me that time so exquisitely. Thank you.

Thank you Rick :) It was fun to collaborate with Darren - his writing is so good! Music is, to me, a wonderful way to express ourselves. You, my friend, have so much music in you <3 Glad that you share it with us.
