Lady Cascade

Lady cascade in your cold satin frills

You collect rainbows beneath frowning hills

Your soft misty breath that kisses the trees

Brings birds a singing in blissful fleets

From dawn to dusk you dance in grace

Awaiting the silver moon’s embrace

Your laughter echoes across the meadows

Summons moon fairies from behind the shadows

The sun your father he beams at your poise

Pride of your mother you fill her with joy

Your sister stream and your brother the breeze

They all surround you and make time freeze 

Lady cascade how I wish I could stay

Lie on the grass and adore you all day

But dark city streets do beckon me away

With you in my heart I leave if I may

Nature's Solace

I soared through the heavens and savoured the sights

Through silvery moonlight that coloured the night

I danced with the stars and sang with delight

Of the endless beauty and miracles of life

I sat against the bark of a lonely willow

Gazed at the sheep that grazed the meadow

Dipping my feet in the waters a shallow

I closed my eyes with hope for tomorrow

I waltzed with the breeze that brushed through the woods

On top of the mountains gaily I stood

I swam in the river spoke deep with the clouds

Mother Nature’s children that make her proud

Found peace in the rivers, mountains, night sky

Solace in the breeze that swept me up high

With pictures forever in my mind’s eye

Any day and happily could I surely die
