A bit of whimsy and brightness for your day.

Pour the wine of memory
Drink deep of its joy.
Sing within the reverie
And all your hopes employ.

Catch the tales in trembling light
And seal them in a stone.
Lest the moment takes to flight
And leaves the heart alone.

String the stories on a chain:
Gleaming gems of truth.
Where whimsy lifts a bold refrain
And the stars shine down as proof.

Send your laughter to the sky
To where the Faithful sing.
The Fallen hear and hurry by
And flinch from joy within.

Though sorrows flow with joy so bright
And tears will also fall.
Within the feast hall gleams the light
That hope brings one and all.
