Mighty eyes do pierce
As night favors the raptor
With a simple glance

In a dream, she sails
To faraway places
Hoping, at last
To find out what space is
A bag fully packed
She reaches for the sky
Balloons, shaped like planets
Will help her to fly
A billion stars fill the night
Oh! How they shine!
A little girl and her dreams
How I wish they were mine…

Passing the mirror
To her, she is unseen
Here in the present
And somewhere in between
Echoes of another life,
Fill her mind
Clouded judgements
Mistakes, for which she’ll pay
Haunt her entire being
But there was no other way
Her mind filled with strife,
A life unkind
Never thought this would happen
Or what it would never be
Turning her back on someone
That certain someone, it was she
Remaining the dutiful wife,
Vows that bind
Moments pass, fleeting
She now realizes the path
Of where, at last, it will take her
Waiting, for the aftermath
Whatever possessed her to pick up the knife?
Still fighting her demons, she remains, confined…

I sometimes hide my eyes
Behind darkened glasses
Care to look at the world
Through rose colored flashes
Psychedelic prisms
I watch the colors blend
Wishing it could be like this
Throughout the world, again
Hippies spreading love
Peace and understanding
So tired of the ones, who
Just keep on demanding
I will not hide forever, no
Behind this tinted glass
Cause I’ll never be the one
To follow all, en masse
March to the beat of a different drummer
I refuse to ever become just a number….

Like a spider’s web
Droplets dance on feathered ends
Aglow in sunlight
