Fate of Dreams

Longing for freedom and rain,

Dropping an ocean gently upon city streets and

Halos of light glowing in a crystaline droplet.

In another day, another time -

When the fountain of youth kept dreams alive

And people dreamed of mermaids singing on the rocks, is where I long to be.

If dreams were money, I would have five million -

Five million raining over me, falling like the stars above me.

Tho' now I realize...

In this world, there's no time for dreaming.

I write my dreams upon lines, blurred with feeling,

Then they're put back into the box where I locked away my heart and soul.

Mayhap one day, Fate will be on their side and

They'll get their chance to shine.
