Dream Ink

So this is the stuff that dreams are drawn in

Fairy-tale ink and the sun-drenched morning

The caterpillar’s wings and the lunar curve

The child’s discovery of its brand new earth


It’s the bubbling over of champagne glasses

The genius work of the unknown artist

The breaking down of fallen leaves

The blossom grown from forgotten seeds


It’s the rush of jumping off the swing

The song that always makes you sing

The morning coffee that you get free

The perks of modern day loyalty


But more than this, it’s simple bliss;

The “every-day”, the “good night” kiss

The running water in the tap

Your mobile phone and favourite app


The cloudless sky, that movie scene

The one you thought was from a dream

The memory that makes you smile

The friend you see once in a while


So should you find you’re feeling down

I recommend you look around

For in every crevice sun can seep

Into every crack of every street.
