there were golden forests
and skies like seas
feathered magenta sunrise
floating on silver breeze
and under rosy ecstasy
the grass sang
"all is but a dream"
there were boundless scarlet sunsets
spidery grey trees
slender green shadows
yellow sidewalks agleam
and as spindly limbs swung quietly
the grass sang
"all is but a dream"
there were blood orange moons
seeping like molasses through
blackened open wounds
sandy-grey clouds swallow the skies
their toothy gaping mouths smothering cries
and as the sun turns to ash and steam
and dusky fields burn at the seams
the rotting grass hisses
"all was but a dream"

girl
with sun-kissed cheekbones
and golden-red hair
fingertips brushing daisies
in the warm summer air
girl
with freckles like stars
tears like silver prayers
don't stray too far
in the warm summer air
the sun's hugs feels like home
the daisies like angel hair
but when the sun sleeps
you can't stay
in the warm summer air
you've fled too far
in the warm summer air
shadows stain
your golden-red hair
raging hot stars
outshine your freckles
and I cannot answer
your helpless silver prayers
the night swallowed
your daisies without care
ashes cover
your golden-red hair
but promise me
you'll learn
to see through despair
to keep reaching
to keep dreaming
of your
warm
summer air
