How long will this day be
as forever lays here, hiding away.
My dream in mind rattles
the doors, because it hides.
Way away in dark corners
in sand piles, snickering voices.
I've reached so many times
a letting go of distrust.
Whenever it's ready to leave
I'll wait here, steady my stance.
I hope for surprises in goodness
and want nothing, nothing more.
