Dreamer Awakened
copyright 1994 Mary Bertke
A G A D
Born in a walled garden, kept safe from all harm
A D A E
she dreamed of adventures like in old sailor-yarns,
A G D E
Led by reflections of paper and ink,
D D9 E
dreams and reality merged...
Refrain:
A G D E
The gift of the woman who wrote all the stories
A D A E
soon led her off on a wild quest of her own.
A G D E
Now as she wanders though life always seeking,
D D9 D E
reality turns itself round, and finds dreams...
At night in the garden a voice sang alone,
of worlds, lands and times that lay far from her home,
Never daring to hope she'd one day get the chance
to take up her life as her own...
Fate laughing merrily off in the wood
took her to places it felt that it should.
Music and laughter set mind and voice free,
The magic surged forth, and she soared . . .
