poem
HOPES AND WISHES AND DREAMS
HOPES AND WISHES AND DREAMS
ARE SUCH MAGICAL THINGS
SO MUCH JOY IT BRINGS
WHEN YOUR HEART JUST SINGS
LOLLIPOPS AND LULLABIES
LOLLIPOPS AND LULLABIES
COMFY COZY MESMERIZE
FEELINGS THAT YOU MEMORIZE
NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE
IF YOU WANT TO FANTASIZE
WHAT YOU BELIEVE
MYTHICAL CREATURES
HAVE MANY FEATURES
MOST DO NOT OFTEN SEE
SO MANY PREACHERS
AND OTHER TEACHERS
CLAIM UNREALITY
SOME SAY IT'S A CURSE
MAYBE EVEN WORSE
TO SHARE SUCH HISTORY
IMAGINARY
OR QUITE CONTRARY
DEPENDS WHAT YOU BELIEVE
THAT'S JUST THE MOOD I'M IN
AT THE EDGE OF THE PIER
IT WAS PERFECTLY CLEAR
THAT THE END WAS SO NEAR
AND A BOAT WAS AFLOAT
I SUPPOSE YOU COULD NOTE
THAT IT NEEDED A COAT
OF PAINT
DON'T FAINT
RESTRAINT
I WENT BACK TO THE SHORE
TO SEE WHAT TO EXPLORE
THEN I WONDERED WHAT FOR
THINK I'LL LAY IN THE SAND
IT WAS NOT WHAT I PLANNED
GET THE LAY OF THE LAND
OR MAYBE ON A WHIM
I JUST MIGHT TAKE A SWIM
THAT'S JUST THE MOOD I'M IN
TOO CLEVER
TRY NOT TO SOUND TOO CLEVER
WHENEVER YOU ENDEAVOR
TO FOOL SOMEONE FOREVER
MOREVER JUST DON'T EVER
MEMORIES LIKE THIS
CRESCENT MOON AND TWINKLING STARS
FIREFLIES IN MASON JARS
OFTEN MISSED BY PASSING CARS
MEMORIES LIKE THIS ARE SPARSE
PATCHWORK QUILT AND ROCKING CHAIR
PATCHWORK QUILT AND ROCKING CHAIR
ALWAYS FELT SUCH COMFORT THERE
MAKES ME MELT THEY'RE QUITE A PAIR
SO WELL BUILT OLD FASHIONED CARE
THE NIGHT WAS DREAMY
THE NIGHT WAS DREAMY
FULL MOON REFLECTED
IN RIVER RIPPLES
THE WIND WAS BREEZY
SO THAT AFFECTED
THE PICTURESQUE PULSE
TEASING YET PLEASING
SOMEHOW PERFECTED
A FLEETING IMPULSE
GRAVITY
THE GRAVITY OF
THE SITUATION
ISN'T ALWAYS CLEAR
I GUESS IT DEPENDS
WHAT YOU FOCUS ON
AND WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO HEAR
