Dreams in the Night
Lyrics from the song Delta Dawn
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on,
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
from the song Delta Dawn, written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey, 1971
Right Now
ferns quietly unfurling,
fallen petals and tiny sleeping fawns,
shadows on rocks and on thoughts
Weeds and Flowers
one person’s weeds,
are another person’s flowers
Lyrics from the song Sugar Magnolia
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander around…
from the song Sugar Magnolia, 1970, written by Robert Hunter and Bob Weir, performed by Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead
Lately
tulips and roses and hot pink carnations,
books and puzzles and jars of fig honey,
gnomes and unicorns and blue lava lamps
Joy
joy can be found in unexpected places
Lyrics from a song
If you’re a thought you will want me to think you
Lyrics from the song and album entitled, Scarlet’s Walk by Tori Amos, 2002
Beautiful Green Things
soft, green velvet
and sparkling emeralds,
deep green glass,
and thick forest landscapes,
leaves and trees and seeds,
and petals made of mystical jade,
fine, long feathers and
rolling fields of fragrant sage
