Sepia chain links.

[keith]

When the evening’s shades are like sepia chain links

When moonlight rides the seas on a whispering throne,

When earth breeze has a language of scatter soft greys

As it speaks of forever entwined in its days,

And when stars forget everything but to shine on you

There are so many reasons why time shines in blue,

And so many memories of mezzanine gold

Oh so many to cherish, so many to hold.





When the eyes of a dream reflect infinite fire

There are so many wishes that hearts can desire,

Between pages lie bookmarks of gold in the rain

Forgotten yet precious they try to explain

All those shivering whispers that creep through my heart

As they call out to me although we are apart,

And the sepia chain links jingle jangle away

In those musical lanes where the Angels still play.





When night shadows are liquid and moonlight is pale

And the stars climb in silence to where their ships sail,

There is so much magic adrift in their mystical glow

As they wander away where the evening winds blow,

While the sepia chain links cast a shimmering spell

On those moments that drop down the old wishing well

And on the bridge where the moon sighs, in shivers and shines

I will hold you once more when our dreamscape combines…
