Transparent Words - Poetry

 

     light as the dreams   of an innocent child

    the hawthorn petals   drift

 

        across the lilac   yellow seas

   of flowering grass   and summer breeze

 

   light as the dreams   of an innocent child

  the hawthorn petals   drift

 

                 up Cribden Hill   and down the lane

to the top of the paddock   and back again

 

   light as the dreams   of an innocent child

  the hawthorn petals   drift

 

                              drift   my child

                              drift   my child

   the hawthorn petals   drift

 

      for soon the berries   start to swell

         the year must turn   but all is well

 

          light as the dreams   of an innocent child

          the hawthorn petals   drift
