A New World

When I close my eyes
I see a new world
of velvet black night speckled
with opals across it's skies.
Spice perfumes rosemary and clover air;
A gentle breeze
running it's fingers through my hair.
Leaves of fire dot the ground gingerly
a pale blue fog barely lingering,
nearby a forest reaches high into the night
as if longing to be wrapped in the moon's light,
a world of beauty, harmony and life...
Oh! How I love to close my eyes so tight.
