A breeze laden with the tropic night. The drowsy softness of many guitars And ukeleles playing somewhere near. Brings dreams of magic content Until the illusion ends. And with the ending An awakening, rude and abrupt. Into a world left far behind. Yet again the dreams carry the drifters Far away to a make-believe happiness Where no cares may enter. —Ella Mae Denniston
