Impossible Dreams

Number 148

December 10, 2000

The most beautiful incandescent music
Caresses my ears
This lonely mournful night.

I wish I could write the music
Gathering in my head
A few simple lines to
Clarify life.

With tears,
With hope,
With a downpour of me.

A shower for my
Emotions, please,
Yes sir right away
The music answers.

Hold your head high
And straight
Can't afford to spill
Even a drop of that Holy water.

Shout it out!
Hear me world as I
Work in vain scratching, slowly
Crawling up the wall.

And she asked,
"What do you want from life?"

Oh, I'll recognize it when I
Get there, I keep saying.

So why keep asking?
Like the man looking
All over for the—
Glasses perched atop his head.

Do I dream impossible
Things?
