Songs to lighten my burden of days !

On an eternal carpet free
Giant thrones from stone hewed
Brown attendants in green
Winds shuffle the royalty.

Blushing in the sleep of love
Night robed in fading farewell
Day awakened for hours of work>
Sunlight sounds the morning knell.

Lip kissed sword of sunrise
Parting earth and her mist
Upon her slowly glowing body
Tears of the lover banished.

Singer sweet to thirsty travel
Streaming life in mountain veins
Mountains flow in tiny pebbles
Sacrifice to renew the rains.

With dew cold songbirds flow
Wild perfumes of earth bathing
In elfin warmth of golden skies
Quick retreat of dreams shy.

Bounty of lamb white zest
Fruitful children of tall trees
And generous seasons lie ahead
Yet in autumn grieve the leaves.

Nature rules in perfect harmony
With the gods on earths' breast
Time plays hide and seek
Now in light, now in dark dressed.

Evening dawns on idle romance
Slow falls the secret starry veil
Night bride for weary eyes
Brazen virgin in dark ripples.

Seas swell to the silver force
Mysterious smiles ride the waves
To wallow in the silence without
And many faced voices within.

Moon and sun a mystic oneness
Poised in worldy fame
Battles scattered in silent craters
From the flame flows the light.

Folly and fortune burn for ages
Fantasy in flight waves
Across my being...conjuring
Songs to lighten my burden of days.
