their movements were blurry children on the playground on far away islands they're still taking boat rides there on their wings and dreams through fields and seas to be with them I dreamt of the flower and a handful of rain to water it their smiles were endless their laughter still full with wonder and their cheeks rose colored and full of grapes I dreamt of this place so strange like gold like sun never heard of night I'm still trying to hold on to it this childlike wonder slips so easily through my fingers dances like fire like passion in the writer and the water that fills his eyes every time he understands little by little what love means I dreamt of this place and did not know where to find it where the flowers still grow and so does my imagination maybe it still is and I can one day find my way back to it if I ever do I hope it will teach me something about beauty then I can teach that something to you
