somewhere long ago when wishes came with blown out candles and some were made upon the first star eyes were closed a heart followed suit tears began to freeze dreams that once danced across the horizon unraveled to be blown upon the wind whisked away to another day path now traveled questions asked the answers unknown and a flicker of color ignites what do you dream of? has been asked I answer What is a dream? a fleeting whim of summer's breeze? a kiss from a dandelion? the wrap of arms from your child? lost were the dreams of the child found is the reality of each day the simple things like rising suns laughter hugs time to see the world are the dreams I hold in my dreamless mind
