I had a dream Birds spoke to each other I talked to them Yet they didn’t speak my language Never understood The message I sang Sat down on a dock Gazing into water Black as space My head spun like a top Dropped into the galactic water I could see the stars Feel the touch of the galaxy’s embrace Spheres As far as I could see In the center of the stars Resided a babe Small in size Recently placed I grasped the child Looking for a parent Until I woke up Stuck not in space But in the duties of adulthood
