Night Visitor
High in the tower
She sat and looked around her
The world flowed away to the horizon
Moonlight shone softly through the trees
The stars flickered across the heavens
Here and there a figure could be seen
Flying across the night sky
Travellers through time and space
Where they were going
Only they knew
In ones or twos
Sometimes a few
Travelling to some distant place
A sigh of contentment escaped her lips
As a smile spread across her mouth
Shone brightly in her eyes
With the beginning of a thought
She drifted out from the tower
Floating away across the land
Towards a place and time long past
Where love and laughter would always last
Loved ones long gone would reappear
Memories shared of lives held dear
To a land of verdant green
Towering trees of giant form
Surrounding her with their heady balm
She slowly dropped from the sky
Landing amidst a carpet of bluebells
She saw amongst the trees
Faces loved and long ago seen
Moving forward
Smiles wreathing every face
Love flowing from every heart
As heart and mind rejoiced anew
Time sped past all too soon
When she must return
To her time and place
Where she lay sleeping
Dreaming of loved ones faces
Until once more she flew through the night
To share once more such beloved sight
Blessings, Susan ♥
