Oh sing me a song

of those Summers long,

we danced in the forest

till our day was done.

 

Chorus:

With rhythm and rhyme

sing the song of the time,

of Crystal Ships coming

calling us to come running;

back to the Stone for this is our home.

 

Where Pearly skies climbed,

the Sun always shined,

the Spirit of the forest

it was so divine.

 

Chorus:

With rhythm and rhyme

sing the song of the time,

of Crystal Ships coming

calling us to come running;

back to the Stone for this is our home.

 

When cradled in the night

those stars they take flight,

for when we are sleeping

night creaturs are peeping.

 

Chorus:

With rhythm and rhyme

sing the song of the time,

of Crystal Ships coming

calling us to come running,

back to the stone for this is our home.

Well hello there, Jenny.  My heart leapt when I noticed this.  It's a beautiful poem and so very lyrical.  Full of the joys of spring - to coin a phrase.  And all about those Crystal Ships of yours.  

I hope everything is well with you, and I just wanted you to know how very much I enjoyed this.smiley

Hi Elsie,

thank you for reading.  This is taken from my story Dwellers of the New World.  I just felt it stood out on its own as a song and decided to put it on.

I'm very grateful for your words.

Jenny.

Hi there Tina,

I'm so glad you enjoyed reading and oops!  blush   I forgot a verse,  so I'll write it here in my reply.

When cradled in the night

those stars they take flight,

for when we are sleeping

night creatures are peeping.

 

I'm fine...I've been trying to catch up on my story and have managed to write some more parts.

Can't believe how long it's been since I was last on abc tales.  Time certainly does fly.

Any way thanks so much for your comment...much appreciated.

Jenny.  smiley

Jenny - that verse is lovelysmiley  You must incorporate it in your poem.  It is beautiful as it is, but this verse deserves to be there, as well.

As to your story, I'm just off to clean my bathroom, and then I'll be back to read it.  It will give me something to look forward to whilst I'm scrubbing the tilessad

I wish I could hear it sung, Jenny. There is a childlike quality to it that makes it all the more charming. I think it's that line - 

'Where Pearly skies climbed,

the Sun always shined,'

love it!

Hi Bee,

you are so right about the childlike quality,  it's actually written for a child called Netty who's in my story.

Glad you liked that line and enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing it.

It's really good to be back and thank you so much for reading and letting me know you enjoyed.

Jenny.
