take me with you
on your laughing flights of fancy
liberated
winged
set me on your shoulders to share your joy
fanciful daydreamer
we are water-bearers
driven by the whims of winds half mad
crossing borders clandestine in the night
"sans papiers"
burden bearers unthanked
and marshmallow castles
to dwell in your canyons of cotton and wool
though our illusions reach to the limits of the heights
our castles are mists
our canyons but breezes
our mountains are what you breathe
wipe the sleep from your eyes dreamer
as the world floats by below
let me see
as you do the dreaming seasides from above
let me watch
as you do the yawning prairies roll
-to see the weeping of the unconsoled
and make you spill as we do tears of empathy upon mankind
-to see the earth ravaged and robbed bereaved of her children
then in a flash of light you would awaken and thunder as we do
we the ragged vagabonds of the sky
