What would you do if I told you,
That thing you’ve been dreaming of,
That beautiful feeling of longing,
Is right around the corner?
I think we could all do with something special right about now.
Clouds blow the sun away.
More coffee.
In the summer evening
Crowds recede
Tides rise
A crescent moon hangs on a branch

A pair of mandarin ducks
Take off from the ground at the same time
One after the other
Flying towards the lake at dusk
Rippling the calm lake

Swans slide towards the center of the lake
Dancing in a beautiful waltz
Willow beats with the rhythm
Breezes send the scent of flowers

The night opens the curtain
with all little stars shining upon
Cheer for all holy livings
The calm lake lets the elves rise and fall
Spin

They look at me from across the dinner table
Trying to give me another label
Selfish, hypocrite, complex
What's next?
If only you could see
What this life is doing to me
You ask me what's wrong
The answer you don't want to belong
But I know it will be
I can't live a life that troubles me
5am
everyone’s finally going to sleep
but were waking up
watching the sky change colors
feeling the air become warmer
hearing the birds chatting

how could you sleep?
