The Challis

The illusive challis, Garish in its detail Waiting to be embellished with jewels Filled to the rim with your dreams The one you are looking for You thought I held it And I tried to carry it for awhile But I could not find its jewels And it was too much for me to carry It burdened me too much It encumbered me so I could not stand alone So take your glorious challis from me now And let it burden you Free me from your back-breaking dreams And I will take up my own challis Beautiful in its simplicity And I will carry my own dreams And they are no burden at all Because they are as light as air
