The Chalice in Light of the Day

 

 

I drink from the chalice

in light of the day,

a goblet of crystal

on endless display

 

Where moonbeams and rainbows

sing songs in the sand

and sunflower meadowlarks

walk hand in hand

 

When happiness touches

each mountain I climb

of heart beat concertos

in three quarter time

 

Till clouded sky warriors

reach out for the prize,

then fall to their knees

as the sun starts to rise

 

I savor the tea leaves

in herbal delight

In hopes that the wrongs

now become every right

 

To take in the distance

that I’ve come to know,

if only a dream

where my heart tends to go

 

I follow the pathway

of jasmine and rose,

where love is the garden

that forever grows

 

With now my thirst quenched

by this journey so new

My chalice in light of the day

it is you

Where moonbeams and rainbows
sing songs in the sand
and sunflower meadowlarks
walk hand in hand

When happiness touches
each mountain I climb
of heart beat concertos
in three quarter time

Till clouded sky warriors
reach out for the prize,
then fall to their knees
as the sun starts to rise.......
simply...beauty...:))
