Sweet Summer Dream


Barren stems more than emptiness -
within the confines of lost and broken,
resilient as beauty is -
Hope that awakens in white flowers
to kiss you dreams that you are
so welcome to take.
 
How long will you stray darling?
Just remember, time means nothing!
 
Revisit those forgotten notes,
and you’ll soon praise a new beginning:
Don’t underestimate the reign of our youth and valor,
We are kings and queens of mountains that bow and lay
vermilion lakes that drown our sins and sorrows.
Manifest Destiny as the eye visualizes and you’ll realize
the world has always been at your feet.
 
As the sweetest summer dream,
my ego unraveled at the seams and I awakened -
