Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

My other two legs ......ahem, I mean my bike !
If you see a lady with a blue helmet and a bike with 2 green bags with tiny orange polka dots..........Zooming past you, it's me " Ziniania "with my beloved summer companion.

Songs and memories
Last year I visited my family in Greece. It was hot it was the end of July and we had a great time reconnecting and enjoying the time spent together. When we were traveling in my brother's in law car in the small streets of Aegina we would listen to this song and my brother in law would start singing along
On the radio ,in the car we would listen to the German song that came 1st on Eurovision 2010
My sister's ring tone on her cellphone was this Lady Gaga's tune
In my sweet niece's room we would try to imitate Shakira's moves listening to this song. Soccer and Greece go along ...
and finally we would listen to this Greek song that was last summer's hit
"To kalokairi mou" means "My summer" in Greek. All these songs made my summer vacation a musical memory that makes me happy and nostalgic all at the same time. Happy because it was a beautiful vacation with all my family there and nostalgic because now every time I listen to these songs, I feel the summer heat
on my skin, I smell the sea and the suntan lotion, I swim in the blue waters of my homeland with my sister at my side, I smell the jasmine in their garden, I taste all the good food that we shared, I remember all our discussions and I can taste the coffee we had on their veranda, I can feel the happy hugs of welcome and the sad good byes and I hope that we will be able to repeat all these great moments soon and listen to new songs and form new memories !!!
