A Dream I Can Never Hold

A ray of sunshine

Illuminates the sand below

And I see you again

The mirage of you beckons me, 

Come forward

When I get my head right,

You're gone again

Only to be blown back

I see you being carried

By a gust of wind

You're carried away by the same breeze

Then I find you peering at me

From a pool of water

Your reflection shimmers and fades away

I hear your voice

It calls to me from beyond the trees

Then your echo fades too

You refuse to leave me

You haunt me like a dream

One from long ago,

One I can never hold
