Day Dreamer Poem by Monica Engeler

As I turn around a blue bird hums a song
Of beauty for all to hear and enjoy
It cheers the dreamer that sings along
Oh what can it mean to be so full of joy?

There is no darkness around to cry over
And the shadows of life have gone a dew
Only a world of happiness lives forever
And tears are ever counted as a few.

What can it mean to day dream and be free
Just to hear those melodies of happy cheer
I kept on thinking what am I doing that I can’t see
Then I said “goodbye to all that I know and fear.”

Hey! Then mercy to the band that plays
Listen to the gang and understand the sound
It is too easy to hear the bird that prays
We were born to search for replies unfound.

Someway somehow time goes on without fate
It was only yesterday that life was new
How I remember when answers were first rate
Maybe it is just another pleasant view.

I looked back to see if the blue bird still sang
And saw that he had flown away
His beautiful song left a mark that ever rang
It was six o’clock and time ended for the day.
