I want you to believe,
that you can fly,
that the sky,
is still in your reach,
and you can hold the sun,
on your fingertip,
and touch the lip,
of the immortal moon.

I want you to believe,
that the sky is all around us,
and you've filled your lungs,
with magic from the clouds.
Dream here in the sky with me,
and let me tell you a little story,
of times when all were found worthy,
to fly the skies within the magic.

And all I wanted to do,
was help you to believe,
that all these things you see,
are not illusions,
the truth you've lived with all your life,
is just part of the eternal sky,
where spirits go home to fly,
and I wanted you to believe,
you too can fly these skies,

and hope, always hope.

oh so long ago,
I wrote this on a day,
when I dreamed about the future,
and never let it stay.

Lacking, Wanting, Always daunting. (and every smile was made for haunting)
soul is breaking, all the faking. (the little bits of carrots shaking)
Can't contend. The morning music. (dealing with a daytime lunatic)
this ashen food is laced with lyric. (made with regret to make you sick)
tastes of bile. Heavenly thyme. (fire to your ice and still beating in time)
Broken bits of wandering rhyme. (we've stolen our hearts, yes that was our crime)

Eating my heart spread with your poison.
(touched with gentle layers of doubt)
this line of hope burnt to perfection
(gripping the pain and shattering out)

Yes we are breaking in time to the march
(scarecrows held up by sticks, stones, and starch)
a dance to remember our times to forget
(frightening the birds and left with regret)
the floor with our bones, picked clean and dry
(you wait till the morning to tell me I've died)
And that's the way they taught you to play
(but really who won at the end of the day?)

ours were the portions they ate in this fable (old gutted wanderers with fresh-cutted labels)
push away thoughts served at the table. (this way of surivival for those who are able.)

-------
a few thoughts I had while waiting to cook my breakfast
wondered what it was like to be breaking fast instead of breaking fast.
