If you listen closely…
I’ll tell you, like many before, who tried in vain, of an enchanted kingdom, lost in the mundane. Hush hush, and hear the truth I now reveal; of a second life, that sleep tries to steal.: * * * * * A magnificent sunset as rich as gold Descends as the night begins to unfold The light of day begins to fade Its songs and movements melting away * * * * * A spring of magic falls from the stars An enchanting silence is played from afar Leaves wafting to the ground in the autumn breeze In this sea of wonders, your heart is set free * * * * * And tucked in the flowers, fairies lay Oblivious to the magic that proceeds the day The spell that is cast on the darkness of the night Few can witness as they don’t have the time * * * * * The murmur of crickets is heard in the air Echoing loudly in the quiet’s lair The moon sitting in its throne high in the sky Reigning over all the free spirits in the sky * * * * * Dreams are real as the soul of a child A reflection of your unknown hopes, so wild. But, don’t sleep away this second life for it’s the only place your dreams come alive. * * * * *~Lianna Daniel; 2001 (11 yrs old)
