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
