My heart races
Setting speeds
Blurring faces
Anxious, in the morning air
Wondering, if someone’s there
To quiet, all the fears inside
And comfort me, as I collide
With restlessness, and nervous doubt
Just wondering, what life’s about

I tried to hide behind this tree
And hoped that he would not see me
A hyena is no one’s friend out here
Especially for a meaty hippo, I fear
He’ll make me his dinner, I can’t have that
Maybe I should be trying to chat
With him, before he gets too close
Though he may find me quite morose
Instead, perhaps, I could explain
That I’m no feast, he should abstain
He needs more meat, for his thin frame
Go on, go find some other game!
But silly me, he couldn’t care less
And so to him, I will acquiesce
But wait! He’s leaving, yes! I’m saved
It wasn’t hippo he really craved!

On opposite sides of the fence
Two people, strangers no more
But the wire that stood between them
Was locked, like a rusted old door
Love etched upon the metal bolt
And a date they both knew by heart
One they would never get to
The fence kept them too far apart
Defiant, they pulled on the gate
Hoping, the lock, they could sever
For love can never be kept at bay
When you’re fighting for a forever

A pixie could daydream her days away
Never noticing the time pass her by
And even the fairy who lives in the clock
Has to come out, occasionally, and try
To wake her, from her dreamy state
This is no easy task, for one so small
So, she decided to sit there, daydreaming, too
Into the night, tis when you dream, after all
