Once upon a time when dreams still lived,
She walked on air,
bathed with the sky
And sang with the bird
Saying the sky is blue
And she knew where to place her shoe.
But now,
the drums from the party
told her it was time
And even when she loved the night
All with her stars
She didn’t want the day to end
So she cried
And they smiled
Because it was her day.
When they hailed her man
She knew what it was meant for
& so she ran back to the earth.
