A Return To SongLand
The time has come to start turning my inventions into full-fledged songs again. I will call on my Muses to help me be lyrical. I will also ask my Muses for help to write music for my poetry. Here is a beautiful poem the Muses gave to me that I have not yet written music for. With the help of my Muses, I am hoping to re-enter SongLand. That’s what the challenge of this year will be.
A Thousand Dreams
by Sherman Barry
And though I dream a thousand dreams
I only think of those of you
Where you are is safe and sound
Great Peace and Joy your heart has found
Night sky and morning Sun
Each chases just the other One
Day dreams only of the Night
Night only of the Morning Light
As long as time goes on and on
Days and Nights long for the other One
Only in the twilight and the dawn
Are the times they can be one
So in my Days and in my Nights
As I sit and dream of Thee
I wish much more love for you
Than can be told in an eternity
When I dream of horses flying
That find me here in my dark Nights
A gift from you I think is trying
To remind me of your sweet delights
As long and long as time goes on
Are we longing for the other One?
As I sleep and dream of Thee
Do you sleep and dream of me?
