Dreams & Songs

I heard it for the first time,
The voice of my love.
It sang a lullaby of such sweetness,
I couldn’t even move.
It filled me with something.
I often question the real source
Of human emotion.
It puzzles me how the physical
Is purely affected by the untouchable.
How gloriously they combine
And fill our existence,
As though we were but a void,
An empty space,
A meaningless shell.
We suddenly have a purpose,
To love and live and sing and dance,
To smile for a cruel world,
That in any given moment
Could shoot us down.
Yet it never can smother our dreams,
For dreams are eternal.
They exist and fill the void.
They make our world iridescent.
Dreams are our inheritance to humanity.
So yes, my friend, we are joint,
By our love for goodness,
By our never-ending dreams.
Sing again, my love.
Sing and haunt the universe.
Sing and dream forever.
