VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

MAY 2019 

THE TREES ALL PAINTED

IN MORNING SUNLIGHT

THE BIRDS

GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY WITH SONG

LAZY WATER SHIMMERS

IN GLORIOUS LIGHT

LEAVES TWIST AND FLUTTER

IN A RESTLESS BREEZE

HERE AND FAR AS YOU CAN SEE

A DAY FIT FOR A CROWN

A DAY POINTED UP

INSTEAD OF DOWN 

DREAMY SKIES DRESSED IN BLUE

CLOUDS SCARCE AND FEW

THE SILENCE IS ROARING

CAN YOU HEAR IT TO

WHAT IS IT SAYING

WHAT ARE YOU FEELING

A MEASURE A HINT

THE DAY AS IT GLOWS

WILL HEAL BY THE SUN

PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR 

ONE BY ONE

 NOW OR NEVER

THE TIME IS RIGHT

AN OWL STIRRED TO FLIGHT

WINGS SILENTLY FROM THE TREES

SO MUCH GOT INSIDE

MY HEART, MY SOUL

MY LIFE

I NEED ROOM TO BREATHE

BIG OPEN SKIES

A PLACE I WOULDN'T LEAVE

CRYSTAL WATERS

VELVET STEPS OF GREEN

BIRDS SING THEIR MERRY SONGS

FROM THE TREES

ITS ONLY THE HEARTBEAT 

OF THE DAY YOU HEAR

WHEN THEY LEAVE 

A SILENT REFLECTION

A SNAPSHOT OF A MOMENT

CAUGHT IN TIME

IT WAS ONLY A MOMENT

BUT IT WAS YOURS AND MINE

THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING

LEAVING ITS MARK IN THE SKY

FADES IN THE BLACK LIGHT 

OF DUSK

SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY STARS

DREAMS WITH EYES WIDE OPEN

SEE THE MOON ON THE OTHER SIDE

OF YOUR SMILE

WE GO DOWN IN CELESTIAL LIGHT

THE FRESHNESS OF THE NIGHT

SENDS US ON OUR WAY

CURIOSITY SATED 

THE SLEEP OF A THOUSAND DREAMS

A VISIT TO EVERY STAR
