If only the star-showered skies
would surprise me with their song;
where hello’s knew not goodbyes –
’tis a time
of life far-flung and gone.
The dreamy melody, faint and light
will be my reminiscent rainbow.
Of my playful dancing kite
And bare feet
across a lush green meadow.
And at night, I shall rest this head
beneath the bright lights shining;
And drift into dreams so soundly made
Of mockingbirds
and diamond rings.
Alas, to what end do I hound these hopes?
But to aimlessly suffer a beastly burn!
For time justly travels on steady slopes;
And we may not borrow
That which we cannot return.
O, how I yearn for this familiar lullaby,
Lingering and lost in memories ages long,
O, if only,
If only the star-showered skies
would surprise me with their song.
