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.
