A Night Within A Life
Folder:
Love and Dreams I lived once, a happy soul
When knights rode in armor
To joust for sport and Love's attention
I would watch and listen to the clamor
Maids would sing the songs of old
While children ran about
And smells of home would fill the air
These were comforts without doubt
The rolling hills and running brook
Nature had blessed my simple home
At times I would pause the pace of life
And memorize every scattered stone
On summer nights
I would lay awake, counting all the stars
Wondering what fires were strong enough
To shine from so very far
My home was a paradise lost
One that I kept finding
Between the soil and my heart
lay a contract that was binding
Upon the hill is where I lived
Awaiting my queen's command
A mistress of melody, she bade me play
By a simple wave of hand
A tune I would spin to close her eyes
A tune to enchant her heart
I would play my best for her
Using all my gifted art
Yes, I was a happy soul
I lived to view the sun and moon
I lived to sleep in the grass
And to play a cheerful tune
I will miss the life I had
I will miss the sense of bliss
Why would anyone want to leave
A life so great as this?
I will think of it all
The beauty so perfect and pristine
I will think of it long past the time
When the alarm rings 6:15
This is a great piece! I've had dreams like these!Bravo~
I was captivated right from the start. Immediately the atmospere changed into the beauty of the land you described and I actually felt the love floating in the air. On rare occasions I feel a longing to be in the place described, and when it does happen, it's usually with a book. I was surprised a poem could do this..I honostly honostly honostly was surprised that I felt that way. The only word that comes to mind is WOW! Please write more poems like this. They're enchanting.
