Should I ever dream the dream,

If no skilled fisherman can catch the silver fish,

Should the seas be hard and unreasonable,

Bury me not under clay.

 

Heavens will smile as it always has,

Dirt that day takes no falling drops,

A dark shade naught amongst the shade of sky blue,

None gathers save a few.

 

Old ache for freedom burns and scars,

Time cannot see nor meddle,

Heat joyfully welcomed into embrace,

Layers shed leaving only the truth.

 

May the wind be my feet,

To bow before the heaven’s eye,

And hear its lover’s pale sigh,

See the soundless children they watch.

 

Perhaps I would laugh,

And heed my name’s calling,

To dance where the fallen leaves travel,

As they lead me to where I belong.
