ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD

~On the Roof of the World ~

 

 

 

 

Something brushed against

my slumber deep in the forest

lushness of drifting

dreams

meadows of frozen stars

standing in time flickering

still

arousing floating senses to

the possibilities that all was

not lost on earth’s heavy plains

whose winding lanes of

labyrinth stepping stones

worn down to smooth

daring me to solve the difficult

puzzle with missing pieces of

a tuneless world devoid of delight

suddenly I awoke from this dream

and pondered this jigsaw of life

with its inconsistencies

saw no golden guiding light

no compassion for my questioning

as to the mystery of the universe

I, a seeker of truth and light

encumbered as I am in an earthly body

long for my spirit to be free of care

donning my angel wings

I wish freedom

to soar with you my beloved

far, far away and beyond the blue

to reach our rainbow destination

a sacred garden of ecstasy waits

where I saw you dancing last night

near the roof of the world

spinning and twirling

like a whirling dervish

caught in a stardust sandstorm

feverish with passion’s allure and

loves’ piercing arrows of a

mischievous cupid

poised to capture and take me

for your own, as your bride

safe under heaven's bower

as we discover our timeless

cosmos

bright and beautiful

we leave all behind

and our spirits unite and

fuse forever

oh yes we dream and dream of some heavenly world
no worries no pain ...all beauty you see
you dream of ,,meadows of frozen stars,,
,,standing in time flickering,,
daring me to solve the difficult
puzzle with missing pieces of
a tuneless world devoid of delight
suddenly I awoke from this dream
but no ..but no
saw no golden guiding light
no compassion for my questioning
as to the mystery of the universe
I, a seeker of truth and light
encumbered as I am in an earthly body
long for my spirit to be free of care
donning my angel wings
I wish freedom

yes thats life..no rosy dreams ..no
full of surprises..not the ones you will like
not the one that i like
