Once Upon a Time, Once Again

“Well she's walking through the clouds” Little wings keep her upright as she strolls through the sunrise now brightly glowing within my heart, blind to my feelings “With a circus mind that's running wild” Beneath azure tents of atmosphere, smiling at another perfect day in her world While tame white tigers roar on cue “Butterflies and zebras” Watercolor happiness fills her eyes as she chases the beauty that is her nature, caressing all that she touches with the wonder that is her essence “And moonbeams and fairy tales” Moonbeam, something I have not called her and once upon a times, when poppies and dandelions sing the saddest of songs for my desires flood in a downpour of dreams not realized “That's all she ever thinks about” While frolicking childlike atop cotton candy visions never once looking my way, finding this love I hold so gently, only for her “Riding with the wind” On whispered zephyrs she disappears as day drinks of twilight and weary eyes find star light harsh…I sleep, waiting for the new day, waiting for her…once again The italicized lines are lyric’s from the Jimi Hendrix song “Little Wing” but I prefer the version by Sting just a bit more.
