Stuck in an enchanted dream

that’s where you want to be

don’t be fooled, friend

you learn a lot

you learn to love reality

Tell me

what you’re thinking

what you see

where you’re going

tell me

with that voice so careful

and that smile so surprised

tell me

Today I reached up

and shattered the sky

stars and planets and blue drops

falling onto my face

watching it all glow

embraced by the soft cold

of the clouds

Tell me

about that dream again

about those wishes

that you made

about all that you know

tell me

because I want to know more

I want to see the world

through your eyes

tell me

I smiled

without much of a purpose

because walking before the sun is even up

makes me feel as though

I’m walking with my thoughts too

I’ll reach out

and wrap my fingers around them

before they stop making the air before my eyes

shimmer

Tell me

everything you thought

everything you felt

everything you love

because I love sitting back

and listening

tell me

so I can close my eyes

let your voice wash over me

tell me

I am always running

running

running

like a wave

jumping for the shore

sailing through the air

falling hard

falling fast

touching the sand

just a little kiss of the fingers

and in that moment

I am free

and I want you

to tell me

when you are free too

tell me
