Listen…

By Mike Turner

Listen…
As stars gently brush the sky
Spun-sugar clouds whispering your name
While murmuring zephyrs 
Tell their secrets to the autumn leaves
And cool rays of moonlight
Kiss resting daffodils 
Sleeping in dew-moistened glade
Do you hear the music?
Lyrics, melody, mystery
Of the turning of night?
Singing of days past
Tomorrows anticipated
Dreams yet dreamed
Listen…
Hear the symphonies
Of this moment in time
Now becoming past
The future just beyond reach
All set to the rhythm 
Of your beating heart
Dancing with stars and clouds
Winds and leaves
Moonlight and flowers
Grasses and dew
Through Infinity
Close your eyes
Listen…
