Oh you precious flower,
Sadness can certainly be undone
With faith and eyes swelled up with tears,
Keep reaching for the sun
Although the nights are lonely,
And the bed seems an unwanted friend
The dawn shares its own tears of dew,
Yet the sun is drying each of them
A pillow wet with hopelessness,
Has no place left for dreams
Place this poem inside of it,
Then try to get some sleep
For I have filled it full of soundscapes,
To set your heart at ease
With the gentle rhythm of the oceans waves,
And peaceful winds blowing through the trees
The crackling noise of a glowing fire,
A lullaby whispering in your ears,
Each one casting its special charm,
To minimize your fears
Sheep are jumping across the fence,
Leaving you their wool,
Fill your pillow and dream sweet dreams
And never let them go

Part Three- - - > > A pillow wet with hopelessness, / Has no place left for dreams / Place this poem inside of it, / Then try to get some sleep / For I have filled it full of soundscapes, / To set your heart at ease. < - - - - - You did., you did! ! !

Soundscapes- -Part One- -I came flying to such a lovely sounding title like a hummingbird scenting sweetness. That is Bill Cantrell for you- -brings you in with a siren song of a title and then you are caught up in the magic of his verse.
