Once upon a time…. there was a beautiful dream…
a dream brought on by kisses, death, loss, love, pain, the sky, and smiles….
in memories… walking through the mountain trails… .
flying across the grass and down the valley….
the candles in the sky lit up the dream….
in the darkness of the corners of the dream…
but now… the dream has gone… and i’m awake….
You’re quite beautiful in the morning light….
I’d walk a thousand miles for your love…
but i have no shoes
the fall ends… the winter comes…
the winds blister the spirit… and me… without a coat to give you…..
you were foolish to follow me out here…. now i cannot lead you back….
I have not coat to warm you… i have no shoes to protect your feet….
now the winter’s here… and the dread of the snow threatens mountains… looming ahead of us….
the dream from last night… is now a nightmare ahead……
the sweet wind… blisters our lips…. and sours my tongue…..
I’d walk this valley a thousand times… live this nightmare a thousand lives…. would you?
