Gifting a Dream

You're driving across the mysterious lands,
You're making your way to the sea and the shore.
Let go of the wheel and stretch out your hands -
Your secret desires will call you for more.

Midnight in July.
The boundless sky.
The signs in the violet mist.
The red and green lights
That shine through the nights
To show you dream islands exist.

The island of hope is the first on the way,
I'm waiting for you, I am already there.
With fingers entwined, with the thoughts gone astray
We'll lie by the water in silence and stare.

The sand as a bed.
Black roofs painted red.
A thousand small fireflies.
A bright navy sail.
Sweet scents we inhale.
Your charming and still dreamy guise...
