We Dream in Words
Don't these empty lines boil your flow?
The words remain in hiding
Syllables lost in waiting
You rummage through the nooks of your mind
For that perfect poem you cannot find
Allow me to open the treasure chest
Spark up a thought while you unwind
Imagine a kangaroo hopping the clouds
Four jumps away from the moon
Or a lone mermaid riding a sand dune
The gold sparkles running through her hair
Ever seen a salmon hungry for bear?
Imagination is a wondrous place
Dress up your thoughts; give 'em something to wear
Show me a butterfly sprouting to a caterpillar
In a world where everyone loves Monday
And scorns the nuisance that is Friday
You share the stage with your favorite band
Overlooking your origin, the sea of fans
Paint skyscrapers dangling from the stratus
And water only falling up in this land
Tell your pen about molecules
And how they grow bigger than your home
Draw up a grand metronome
Conducting the song of one life
Will disease heal in time with strife
As dogs rescue humans from shelters?
It's time for our dreams to come alive
