Dream of distant cities
Dream of choirs or song
Dream of buried treasure
Waiting for so long
...
Sometimes, the kindness of others,
Overwhelms me.
Forgetting war, and poverty, and greed-
Just for now.
...
Why are some songs so annoying?
I mean, do I really care,
About the way to Amerillo?
Or who's waiting for him there?
...
This flower is one of darkness.
The petals are velvety black.
The thorns are spiky and malicious:
A rose- but does goodness lack.
...
There's a crack in my curtains.
Light's coming through.
Makes sense- it's only half eight in summer.
I'm thinking about what could be out there.
...
Tick tock, tick tock
Got to stop watching the clock
Hours pass by
Watching ceiling as I lie
...
Things never seem fair
When they happen to you
Others never see it
From your point of view
...
'Mum, there's an elephant in my bed!
I think it just sat on Teddy's poor head! '
'Come on, don't be silly!
It's probably just Milly!
...
I was born. I went to school. I still go to school.)
Dream
Dream of distant cities
Dream of choirs or song
Dream of buried treasure
Waiting for so long
Dream of white butterflies
Dream of regal peacocks
Dream of furry kittens
Wearing stripey knee-socks
Dream of true love and romance
Dream of laughter and fun
Dream of memories that are past
Or experiences to come
Dream, dream my child,
Sleep and dream today,
And let the dreaming-fantasy-world
Carry you away.
