Blind Dreams

Amy Li

Dreams of a life so perfect, beautiful, and divine Full of days with golden-painted skies Sleeping in meadows of frosty flowers I dream of another life.

I imagine a person with my face, my hair, my eyes. She’s happy, She’s gorgeous, She shines. Everything I wish I were, And everything I’m not.

I wish and wonder, wonder and wish, Without care for tomorrow, Living happily in today’s bliss.

Work can wait, sleep cannot. Dreams are all I have. They sway me and sweep me off my feet, Dancing gracefully to my melodies.

Filled with wonder, filled with hope, I pray I could be her. Diligent, Resilient, And kind If only I would try.

But she’s all I can wish for, And I’m all I ever could be.
