That something you know

-May-

I put my wishes in an envelope
and hide it under my pillow
Wishes are forever wishes
upon the stars above
higher than rooftop snow

I send my hopes to sparrows
On their wings, they will follow
To the north
of moonlit seaports
To the south
where it’s never cold
Along a creek
that shan't sleep
On river banks
where seeds like to grow

I instill my dreams in a nature song
That joyful birds would sing along
That streams would murmur in their flow
And salt breezes would be told
of a rhythm on the leaves
a melody in my soul

Dreams
aren’t only meant to come true
in a sleep, when the day’s through
A secret in golden sands might go
Yet in a day’s picture frame
an aurora ever glows.
