Birdgirl

Last night I dreamed I saw a Birdgirl Perched on a wire Outside my window pane Small as a sparrow But eyes like a girl Watching me try to sleep Try to sleep Try to dream Last night I dreamed I was an ocean Restless and proud Reaching from shore to shore On my horizon I could see something Watching me try to sleep, try to sleep try to dream What dreams may come? Pictures of time that flicker and wind Shape-shifting children Of some impossible mind When I awake May I be someone Dressed in the dawn Of what will finally be And not this shadow Endlessly watching If I could only sleep, only sleep Only dream What dreams may come? What dreams may come?
