III.

One warm summer’s night you took me away

Into a place so peacefully magic.

And so we sat, surrounded by colours,

‘Till I slipped into a slumber serene.

We listened to songs of great voyage

That Ulysses the brave had to endure,

And through your strange magic, oh did I see

The blues seas that he crossed, the monsters he faced.

Through your gentle touch I felt nature’s might,

My ears heard birds’ songs and whispering trees

In manners and ways felt never before.

Such were the sights that I saw and the sounds

That I heard under your sorcerous spells.

For this I give thanks and write this to you,

You’ll always be dear in my heart and mind.
