DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

Dream a little dream.
An orange, red sun
Setting over the ocean.
A jagged cliff
Showcasing a lighthouse.
A light casting its glow,
While waiting for a ship.
Waves lapping at the rocks,
Trying to climb the steep fortress.
Clouds rolling in over the mountain,
Attempting to hide the light.
The sun slowly falling,
Losing some of its fire.
A ship appearing in the distance,
Seeking the lone light.
Its lights blinking in sequence.
The lighthouse signalling back.
All is well.
Dream well done.

THE ROAD TO NOWHERE

What will it feel like

at the end?

On your last road,

at your last stop.

No more road signs.

No more signals.

Only dead silence.

No people.

No lights.

No sounds.

Memories flitting by.

Old smells.

Then darkness.

No!

I want to go out

with a bang!

A parade.

A marching band,

with music and laughter.

Let’s wait for the parade.

I can hear it in the distance.
