Dare To Dream
twinkling oceans above
like ornaments hanging in navy skies
I gaze after, silently
the ceiling swirls unknown galaxies
heavy shadows don't weigh me down,
with the darkness of uncertainty, all around
eyes I think I see
maybe the night is so dark on purpose
so all things fade to the blackness
a blank canvas?
so all we can see are our bold dreams
we don't dare reveal
to the accusatory eyes of sunlight
