A wistful calm fell upon the peaceful rippling lake,
Besides which I lay with joyous chanting fairy spirits,
Sparks of shimmering stardust flickering above us,
And merry elves prancing beneath the soft starlight,
Sensual craters gracefully carved in the pale gleaming moon,
Cosmic shadows and spectral angels dancing the final waltz,
Sublime meteorite showers sparkling elegantly in the cool evening dusk,
Shooting stars aglow on an interstellar pilgrimage through the void,
To the wondrous gates of eternity,
And festive cheer resounding gleefully through the vast technicolour galaxy,
Kind souls casting their comforting gaze down upon the gently frothing shores of time,
The sweet ambrosia nectar of eternal union dripping delicately from their tender lips,
Twinkling sunlight reflections on dappling mountain streams,
Frost-bitten rose petals thawing atop the snow-covered mountain peaks,
Beside the quivering limbs of wild sage and rosemary intertwined and untamed,
Rays of sensual sunlight beaming soothingly down upon them,
A glorious symphony of birdsong erupting from the immense fertile woodland,
And rapturous spirits dining upon the grace of eternity –
