Once I had these words afloat They seemed to gain A life of their own They straggled along A rivers edge Into a field And never left The urge to find The perfect scene Of tulips buttercups Everything Like crystal flows of sparkling Water straight out The mountains tops Like fluffy clouds All gay so free Like all that was Once a mystery Like lips they spoke my name In angel tongue so virginally Amazed I could But admire she That muse that Doth inspire me.
