Catalina's Milky Way Dreams(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams
Have you ever taken the time to simply sit back and watch what I call the dancing of the leaves? The beauty within their dance is as if they somehow created a rhythm in unison with one another, while the passing breeze magically became their secret instructor. As crazy as it might sound, the leaves have so much to offer during so many different moments in life.
Imagine walking outside early in the morning after the night has coated the world with a gentle shower. The sun shines brightly while the leaves glisten like diamonds at the tops of the trees. They sparkle, shine, and sway as if personally greeting you with a special good morning, once again dancing beautifully with the wind while the sky becomes their own private backdrop.
It is a beauty that should be appreciated in the quiet of the morning with your favorite cup of joe in hand. It is a peace and calm unlike any other - your own special moment of heaven on earth. Take it in and enjoy it to the fullest.
And we cannot forget the birds within all of this. God's beautiful little creatures with wings that fly from branch to branch, never seeming to take the same path twice. They land each time with elegance and grace, resting among the beauty of the leaves as though they were painted into the scene itself. A gift from God that costs you nothing except a moment of your time to enjoy. It would be a shame to waste it, and even worse not to share it. Enjoy it - it is yours.
Then there is the nighttime, when it all becomes beautiful in countless different ways. With the leaves swaying back and forth beneath a moonlit sky, the moment can almost place you into a hypnotic state of peace beyond imagination. The stars become the backdrop while the moon brightens the sky with its gentle light. The leaves dance as if Van Morrison is softly singing his classic hit Moondance somewhere in the distance.
At that moment, the beauty becomes almost impossible to explain - and truthfully, why would you even want to? This is the time to simply sit back, enjoy, and be grateful.
It is the beauty of the leaves in their many forms, each one offering something special to those willing to notice it. And the truth is, you should enjoy it, because you would be a fool not to.
Blessings and peace to you.
