MESSAGES FROM AFAR

MESSAGES FROM AFAR

On golden wings spread so wide

The dove and messenger flies by

It brings forth peace, love and happiness

Its graceful wings flapping without ease

The dove flies to the fair maiden

He has a message for her from lands far away

She holds out her hand so gracefully

So gently

And there before her eyes she sees

A boat afloat there in the distant seas

In the wings of the dove

The sun a glowing, shining brightly

The sea glimmering, shimmering so beautifully

The mountains as the background scenery

Tall and standing so strong

White snow peaks

All around in the sky are shooting stars

Stars to make a wish upon

Twinkling, blinking, shimmering

Every one of them flickering a message from the heavens above

Puffy white clouds scudding by

Oh why?

This is a starry, starry night!

But here anything can happen in a wondrous world like this

So full of happiness and bliss

A place of mystery, mysteries

Fairy tales and mystical stories
