Dream

Reborn from limbs scattered on rocky sidewalks
A seed is planted sometime near birth and grows old
Before all days pass before the eyes there is a sense of longing
That continues on until refuge of love is found with embrace
 
The longing for love creates wonder as we starve without it
And in truth affection may be the most beautiful gift of life
The lofty trees with their branches dance and its beautiful
No beauty is denied in the eyes of an honest person
 
Beauty is what gives life meaning and there is reason to wonder
The sunset and the sunrise caress our mind as we ponder
The passing of time and how each season seamlessly changes
Almost effortlessly, and the thought arises: Can I move with the seasons
 
But wonder is useless because the river flows and I must move with it
Like the fish that go down stream, but sometimes fight against the flow
And lies are bred in truth, and truth is bred in lies
But the wonder always remains even when all appears in darkness
 
There is a light in the soul that shines brighter than a million suns
If a man can see it he can believe it, and if he believe he can see
Now the tree stands tall and broad, branches reaching to the Heavens
I will sit in the branches and watch the world pass by like a dream
