Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.

How can we contrive to be at once astonished at the world and yet at home in it?

Why not Wish on Sunrises?

[a much too long poem]

We’re just dreamers

Holding onto dandelion seeds

Wishing upon dear and dead old dreams

~

We’re running out of breath

Afraid of falling to our death

So we close our eyes and press our little lungs a little harder

~

Now even strength is just a weakness

Now its time to fall

Let this dandelion seed die

Sleep and dream

Tomorrow you’ll stand tall

~

Instead of sleeping,

I woke up, thinking it was wiser

Someone said it’s just called growing up

Stop believing the lies here

~

I tried to outrun myself, good plan

But when I slowed to catch my breath

I caught up and slapped myself like a rubber band

~

We’re just dreamers

Holding onto dandelion seeds

Wishing upon dear and dead old dreams

~

Now even strength is just a weakness

Now its time to fall

Let this dandelion seed die

Sleep and dream

Tomorrow you’ll stand tall

~

But I still believe in fairytales

Where right and wrong are real

Where my friends and I don’t make the rules

Based on what we feel

~

I still believe in magic

Like real love and loyal friends

I believe in adventures

In walking around the world to get home again

~

I will always be a dreamer

But I will ride on the sun and it’s change

Knowing sunrise brings the sunset brings the sunrise around again
