Dreams Uprooted

Dreams uprooted, leaving scars
 Never a wish on a falling star
 As melancholy rhythms echo from guitars
 Despair the spaceship drifting afar

 A sliver of hope ride on moonbeams
 Which may yet fulfill  the dream
  But it's obscured by clouds in ebon streams
 Which hides the truth, eclipses its gleam

 The heart awaits the truth to shine
 To burst forth from celestial avatars
 Free the soul from the twisted vine
 And let dreams glow among the stars
