Let’s Dream (poem)
Let’s dim the old distracting lights awhile
Those flares that dare to bare another’s glare
To minds which search to find their own affair
And be the reason for a lover’s smile
-
Let’s drape those windows of the world with shade
From lies disguised to buy their prize of youth
To gentle lips whose whispers press the truth
And follow fragrant scents which they have made
-
Let’s close our eyes awhile to set us free
From fashioned passion rationed at some store
To hearts which hold a heaven to explore
Our glare of youth restored by you and me
-
Those flares from lies which fashioned other’s day
They will not stay the day when dreamers play
