Shhh,
Gently, as you wake the dreamer
Tread softly, please take care.
They saw her in the garden,
You sensed her forest far from there.
Look!
Her eyes are open
To dense sky reaching greens and foliage floor!
You watch her as she dances
You reach and hope for more...
Listen!
She is singing.
To dulcid morning melody, you are stirred
She was never singing to herself,
She was waiting to be heard.
Watch!
There is a commotion now!
A hungry claw tearing at the birds,
Terror, anger, falling world.
You leap, in hope to catch that girl.
Shhh!
No need to mourn the dreamer.
Her warm blood and awakened heart.
She remembers as you catch her,
Nevermore! In this world she has no part.
