The Windmills Dance

In a land of dreams

By Iris ObscuraPublished 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

An Elder, with a Song entrapped,

In the labyrinth of his Mind, it's wrapped.

A Professor, of Architecture's lore,

Seeks the Song's elusive Door.

~~~

A Stroll in the Meadow, under the Sky,

Hoping the Breeze will help it fly.

His heart carries a Tune, in Silence spun,

Echoes of a Song, not yet done.

~~~

By a Windmill, he rests, his Quest paused,

In its shadow, his Thoughts are tossed.

'Windmills of My Mind,' he recalls,

As the Melody from his memory falls.

~~~

The Windmill turns, so does his World,

Into the Land of Dreams, he's twirled.

He lies beneath the turning Blades,

As Day's bright light softly fades.

~~~

His Body rests, his Spirit soars,

To the Song's distant, dreamy Shores.

His world turns with the Windmill's Dance,

His Life's last Song, his final Chance.

~~~

In Dream's embrace, he finds his Sleep,

His Song, a Secret, the Windmill keeps.
