Sky Blue Daydream of a Distant Life

A firestorm of fleeing grace, A holy aria from its base, Its mem'ry will not be erased From you. The shifting shards of fate and chance, The phosphorescent great expanse, It all together seems to dance For you. A dream that stood a hundred years, That, when it died appeared in tears, And exiled all your joys and fears Through you. And when the dawn shrivels, subsides, The queen of grievance stays your bride, Though crying, all the dreaming tides, They flew. Augment your misery with gloom, Let loneliness become your tomb, Instead of watching flowers bloom In you. Now if you think you can and care, That you will swear, that you will dare, Then dream and it will take you there, The mew. You shall not ever justify, The reasons we would all deny, That in your life you'll never fly It's true. But love it smiles and beckons you To strive and smile and linger too, To bid the shame that flows through you Adieu. Who knew That life could be so... Sky blue!
