Your morning smile has a reason

When the body sleeps the spirit needs to roam, It rises up to leave this body to find a place called home.
It meets up with the friends it knew and it stays a while and then, A time of joy and solace to find, it’s peace again.
It travels far beyond the veil, beyond those wide seas, so much it seems to see, great beauty in the landscapes, the rivers and even the trees..
There .. you find, No darkness comes to dim the light, No distance is too great for just a true honest thought of longing, will bring you to their gate and then you’ll be before them.
They greet you with a smile in silent conversation you stay and talk a while. Then somewhere in the distance the chorus of the dawn reminds you of your duty to return where you belong.
You travel back from wherever you came pulled by the silver cord and there beside your sleeping form you quietly slip it on.
The memory of your journey forgotten for a while it’s locked away for safety ... you waken with a smile for once again you’re ready to face the day alone..
We scrutinise the map of life to find a place called home.
