Dreams

Capture your fears in a shell

Clasp your tears in your hands

Close your eyes and look around

How tranquil is the world within-

Where butterflies bloom into flowers

And burst into a myriad of colors

Where the peacocks soar deep into the sky

Where the leaves are gold by the day

Their tips silver by the night

Where you walk over that bridge

Of fine woven lace

And the moon smiles up from the river

Into your beautiful glowing face

Where the deities dine with us

At our tables

And the kings and queens don't exist

Even in fables

And when you open your shells

Pearls will be revealed within

And when you open your hand

The fears will vanish like grains of sand

Then open your eyes

And realize

That you have for so long been a fool

Life no doubt is very beautiful
