Timeless Quest
Winds rush thru the whispering pines,
To play with mantle of green;
And gossamer thread of a spider's web,
Hangs in sunlight's sheen.
Laurel leaves that crown the head,
Frame face with drops of dew;
And misty eyes with whispered sighs,
Shield lids that hide the blue.
Where maidens walk on winding path,
And elfin spirits repine;
There daisies lay and bluebirds play,
Beneath the tangled vine.
When shepherd boy pipes tunes of joy,
In meadows dipped in gold;
Music plays to sing a phrase,
To lambs that rest in the fold.
To tread upon the mountain peak,
At sunlight's fleeting noon;
And trace the sight of an eagle's flight,
As she soars o'er silver dune.
When blossoms play and sunbeams stay,
With daylight’s soft caress;
While juncos feed on honey mead,
In summer’s vibrant dress.
Where pyramids of chestnut blooms,
Fly high in yonder skies;
And clematis pine on leafy vine,
To tempt the bird that flies.
When daylight dies and twilight comes,
And nature finds her rest;
While flowers sleep and moonbeams keep,
Midnight’s timeless quest.
