Sleeping Hopeful

A childhood daydream away From a misty castle in the clouds My father spoke words of yesterday Hidden in my ear Don’t you know clouds don’t stay? They can’t understand the wind A smiling happiness to sway Will push them in a rabbit hole I never knew of a moment more calm Wrapped up in a blanket with The world a globe in my palm Chasing dandelion seeds for a memory But when my tiny world shook The globe dropped to the floor And the flowers had no shining look So I found solstice in my father's words The sun will not forget the earth And you will not forget to stand You fly towards your worth, Constellations on your heart I nodded off to sleep once more, The thunderstorm had passed My world no longer on the floor And my innocence at rest.
