I had a most distressing dream last night
|
I dreamed I was a crystal bird
|
Caught in perpetual flight
|
|
I'd ascend and glide and descend and ride
|
On the wind and never alight
|
I had a most distressing dream last night
|
|
Glass enclosed, exposed wherever I flew
|
With no control and a crystal soul
|
That one could see right thru
|
|
No ethereal nest where I could rest
|
I was frightened by what I knew
|
That my two crystal legs were broken in two
|
|
When I awoke my heart was beating fast
|
As if all night and endless flight
|
An eternity had passed
|
|
As I shook my head and slipped from my bed
|
Released from the prism, at last
|
I stepped upon a bit of shattered glass
|
