The years grow distant
and still I dream
of emerald skies
above a coral sea
and shining stars
like diamonds
in a velvet sky
of whitewashed houses
precarious
on high and verdant hills
a church bell's plaintive ring
thin and far away
of crystal waters
cool upon the lips
purple vineyards
shimmering
in early morning mist
satin petaled orange blossoms
perfumed sweet
and yellow bu*terflies
with lacy angel wings
sunbeams
slowly waltzing
down magic paths of gold
and gentle raindrops
j**eled tears
on dusty pallid leaves
the years grow distant
and still I dream
