Any Someone

It can take any someone the rest of their life
to explain a strange dream 
they had one restless night
it left them with a whisper 
that seems never to die
an invisible message which colours their eyes
and the worlds never the same 
not in that changing light

And through all the years
the dreams echo refrain
unspoken, unheard, but it calls out just the same
from loves sweetest tongue
to sorrows resentful remains
in those moments of peace
that every struggle contains
it floats ever truthful but stays still unattained

But something of worth
from the dream gently unfolds
in steel and defiance it steadily holds
it stands to the storms
the crush of a petals fugitive perfume
eternal desire for something unknown
a simple wish of a lifetime
in freedoms sweet arms

Every foothold surpasses every rock
every grip upon nothing still pulls you up
and there on the grasslands
all the seeds you have sown
the children of flowers
and now the dream’s not your own
it is living and breathing
from the love you’ve passed on

Yes it can take any someone the rest of their life
to explain a strange dream
they had one sleepless night
and as it called to your future
so it called to their heart
in the eyes of your daughters and the eyes of your sons
is the passion to hold onto something unknown
a simple wish for their lifetime
to be held in freedoms sweet arms
