Velvet Steps of Green

VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 
MAY 2019 


THE TREES ALL PAINTED
IN MORNING SUNLIGHT
THE BIRDS
GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY WITH SONG
LAZY WATER SHIMMERS
IN GLORIOUS LIGHT
LEAVES TWIST AND FLUTTER
IN A RESTLESS BREEZE

HERE AND FAR AS YOU CAN SEE
A DAY FIT FOR A CROWN
A DAY POINTED UP
INSTEAD OF DOWN 
DREAMY SKIES DRESSED IN BLUE
CLOUDS SCARCE AND FEW

THE SILENCE IS ROARING
CAN YOU HEAR IT TO
WHAT IS IT SAYING
WHAT ARE YOU FEELING
A MEASURE A HINT
THE DAY AS IT GLOWS
WILL HEAL BY THE SUN
PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR 
ONE BY ONE
 NOW OR NEVER
THE TIME IS RIGHT
AN OWL STIRRED TO FLIGHT
WINGS SILENTLY FROM THE TREES

SO MUCH GOT INSIDE
MY HEART, MY SOUL
MY LIFE
I NEED ROOM TO BREATHE
BIG OPEN SKIES
A PLACE I WOULDN'T LEAVE
CRYSTAL WATERS
VELVET STEPS OF GREEN
BIRDS SING THEIR MERRY SONGS
FROM THE TREES
ITS ONLY THE HEARTBEAT 
OF THE DAY YOU HEAR
WHEN THEY LEAVE 
A SILENT REFLECTION
A SNAPSHOT OF A MOMENT
CAUGHT IN TIME
IT WAS ONLY A MOMENT
BUT IT WAS YOURS AND MINE

THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING
LEAVING ITS MARK IN THE SKY
FADES IN THE BLACK LIGHT 
OF DUSK
SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY STARS
DREAMS WITH EYES WIDE OPEN
SEE THE MOON ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF YOUR SMILE
WE GO DOWN IN CELESTIAL LIGHT
THE FRESHNESS OF THE NIGHT
SENDS US ON OUR WAY
CURIOSITY SATED 
THE SLEEP OF A THOUSAND DREAMS
A VISIT TO EVERY STAR
