Taking a break...

Far from my native land I roamed,
In streams I slept, in the seasons I met
As the sun's set and rose
I searched for a garden to call a home,
And the moonlight ebbed as the water flowed.
A soft breeze beckoned me unto a spring,
"Sleepy, weary wanderer, your journey is over.
May the dancing petals sweeten your slumber."
At dawn I hummed the melody,
Of a distant stream,
And the songs in the night,
Serenaded my dreams.

A boys tender tears trembled through the water,
Steering me more than any starlight sonata.
He wove me a wreath
From past petals and future buds,
I crossed beyond the veil of dreams
To the realm of flesh and blood.
"Look at the love that shines from his eager gaze,
Answer the call of his heart,
Lest this call go to waste."
The kittens and fireflies,
Invited my heartstrings to sing.
But I was a stranger to the melody of mankind,
And knew not how this tune should begin.

As the river of dreams
Trickled into the ocean blue,
Everytime a crystal fly flapped its wings
Older it seemed it grew,
But I learned to fathom human ways
Each fumbling step I took,
And clouds of confusion became crystal clear
In the vulnerable verse I wrote,
As seeds yearn for soil and trees for the sun.
A once foreign melody inside my heart sung,
And it cried out your name
In every string it could strum.

Now, I give my dream to you,
May it be in your slumber
A sweet spring to quench your thirst,
Now, I hand my heart to you,
Praying my belated promise might meet
Still with your trust.
