Dreamer
Dreamer
ONE of my longings is that the stars above,
So bright and far they scarcely shine on love
Were not, out there, so distant from the moon
But trekked across the sky to love bestrewn.
I must not stay withdrawn but wish each day
Unto the darkness, stars would find their way
Onward through heavens submitting to the wind
And motions that one dreamer might pretend.
Never knowing that reality was lacked.
Nor that mere fantasy seems to be fact.
No one can make these heartfelt visions clear.
Nor hope relieve the thoughts I still hold near.
Stars, bestow brightly your light to love anew.
Let us, sweetheart, together vows renew.
