1. Funny how reality is easy to disguise
In the hours of sun and busyness
But it lights up like a neon glow
In the minutes before dawning.
2. Fairy tales and other fancies
Float just out of reach and vision.
As the sound of hammers down the street
Drown out the song of morning blackbirds.
3. There are Pansies with their velvet mein
Growing somewhere out of sight
But wishing will not bring them near
Nor will it make the desert bloom.

Each of these was to be he first stanza of a poem. None of them ever got finished. So I lumped them together since they all kinda go to the same place.
