Unspoken Dream

When the nighttime dims And the leaves glow gold When the world seems magical to me We’ll stare through the limbs Of a century old, Proud, defiant ash tree You turn The light catches your face Your smile delves into my soul You burn Beauty shining at astounding pace Possessing no true goal We rush through the trees Not a care in the world And land abreast the wild birds We laugh into the breeze Daring the story be told Such a tale will never be heard Watch, don’t fall Feel the salmon swim upstream And see us step across rivers unseen Look up to mountains tall And lay down in this living dream We’ll stare into the waters Just as we did in those days Don’t let the current take you Two pale forest’s daughters Never heeding time’s delays As I burn too We rush through the trees Not a care in the world And land abreast the wild birds We laugh into the breeze Daring the story be told Such a tale will never be heard
