I Dreamt Music

I Dreamt Music
Distant buildings
Slowly appearing
Through a winter storm

One point of light
A flame that melts the heart
A candle in the dark

Dawn breaks
Night falls
The stars return
Return

Kneeling in the blue light
Listening for a whisper
Kneeling in the blue light

Rain on the rooftops
Rain rippled water
Thunder rolls once more

Wind in the treetops
Dust in the sunlight
That spills across a wooden floor

The long summer evenings
The longer nights that follow
Through changing seasons
Time escapes

A green world of birdsong
A grey sky of snowflakes
Blown every which way

Dawn breaks
Night falls
The stars return
Return

The gold will turn
To icicles
It’s a losing game
You can’t conquer change

Kneeling in the blue light
Listening for a whisper
Kneeling in the blue light
