All of My Dreams...

All of my dreams wear stilts these days
to swing on the pine tree as she sways
to reach hollow moon drops just for a taste
to stand tall enough to declare their case

All of my dreams aren't black and white
they vibrate vermilion and fuchsia light
they core into memories like they're truly alive
they hold my gaze fast in a reality dive

All of my dreams are dreams of you
Have I mentioned the adventures we've both been through?
Have I told you how close to you I feel?
Have I laughed as I confess I wish they were real?

All of my dreams become my mirror
to focus my heart with decisions clearer
to prime me with passion and hold me with hope
to bristle the brim of my cup full of cope

All of my dreams wear stilts these days
in all of my dreams, it's you that stays
It's you who corrects me, it's you who believes
in all of my dreams, it's you that I grieve.
