J David Photography - I Dreamt of a Carousel

Return

Of Light and Joy

 

She was dream I had one day,

Of light and Joy.

When asked I could not truly say

What follies of this petulant boy.

 

This dream began in a strangers land,

No colors save for the brilliant grey.

I see the bodies of the angels and

Knew this was my end of days.

 

A battle was waged here,

Souls cracked as the baron earth.

Yet I’ve nothing to fear,

Nothing to give, nothing of worth.

 

I slept among the holy, the pure.

On ground that has seen to much blood.

Outstretched hand cannot reach the cure

No one shall remember where I stood.

 

Through a final tear I see,

The fluttering of a wing.

In my wasteland can it be,

The only soul for my saving.

 

I see her eyes to this day still,

With a smile on this still petulant boy.

I can only hope that I always will,

Have this dream of light and Joy
