Here's To You - By Joy (an uncharacteristicly cheesy post)

Here's to sweet dreams
Whilst the horizon dims
And the steady drum of waves
Hit the glassy dunes

Here's to sweet memories
Whilst the moon rises
Slowly above the cool dew
And spreads a soft light

Drink it in, my love
Drink in the sweet smell of love
Sleep still, my love
Sleep and breath in my care

Here's to sweet love
Whilst I hold you close
Soothing with the sound
Of my flowing words

Breathe it in, my love
Breathe in the cool water of my soul
Pray fair, my love
Pray lord brings me home tonight

Here's To You

cheesey, disturbing, oddly entertaining, what compelled you?

disturbing? hmmm..perhaps. i don't know why i wrote it. me, mommy, grace and faith were hanging out in the living room, and i was listening to ray charles' "georgia." i suppose it inspired me in an odd way to write a very cryptic, cheesy, and oddly capturing poem. hmmmm
