A place like this,

It’s beauty so great,

Fills hearts with wordless ecstasy,

And floods minds with supernatural bliss:

 

A chandelier of stars pulses with radiance

Above lush carpets of grass

Coating hallways shimmering with twilight.

 

Wild flowers dance in the warm breeze

Swaying to a silent symphony;

A serenade to the chaste moonlight

That slips through cracks in a weaved ceiling.

 

Weathered walls reach their leafy tips towards the heavens,

And stretch their brown legs in streams of crystal.

 

Sleep on a pillow of moss,

Damp with the breath of summer.

 

May your dreams be as true as the earth beneath,

And as sweet as the cherries aloft,

 

May the morning dew pool in your palms

And evaporate in the summer heat.
