Yesterday In a Dream

Yesterday I dosed in a dream
And caught sunrays in a jar 
I was captive on a carousel of time
While pondering what love is to a star

The Painted Pony was running free
And the season writing words in rhyme
Faces fading pass in joy and laughter
Playing a part in this dream of mine
                                                                                                       
Clouds appeared and I feared of lightning
And tearful when thunder roared afar
The wind blew hard for the season
And scattered the sunrays from my jar

The leaves fled in colors
The wind rushed the water of a stream
My thoughts came back and joined me 
and vanished my disappearing dream

I can’t return but I can send a wish 
As the stream keeps limping on
I must wait until the carousel make It’s circle
And another dream comes along

The season has passed in splendor
The wheel, once more starts a new
Shadows dance in step with a breeze
And clouds float in review

I can see the shade that welcomes me
Winter has gone and spring is coming round
The Painted Pony glides by faces 
And the carousel slows its circle down
