To Harmonize Within This Dream

To harmonize within this dream A brazen dance of cornered screams Along a wafting, winding lane Where melodies in concert themes Are more than any can explain I wander by this sad request In minor chords and broken strings As clarinets don’t pass the test Among so many other things When from the shadows comes a tune On paisley painted violin Now echoes from a crescent moon Where cellos find a chance to win My feet they move a city mile Across the square where banners fly And I cannot contain my smile While rusted church bells sanctify The streets of rice once thrown in doubt Form petals on the cobbled ground Where children run and parents shout Attempts at drowning out the sound But I, now charmed and held at bay Sing loudly over hill and stream As here my voice shall find its way To harmonize within this dream Just a bit of nonsense

Thanks so much Heidi. It really was just a bunch of verses I wrote to rhyme with each other with no thought to a theme or outcome, but I am happy you liked it.
